Van Amersfoort Racing have retained Rafael Villagomez for the 2026 F2 season.
This move means that Villagomez will stay with Van Amersfoort Racing (VAR) for a sixth consecutive season, having driven for the Dutch team in 2021 EuroFormula, followed by 2022 & 23 F3 seasons then the last two F2 campaigns.
Last season was Villagomez’s best F2 campaign as he improved 30 points on his tally of 13 points and a 24th-placed finish of his rookie season in 2024 to finish 14th in the standings, with 43 points and two podiums.
The 24-year-old Mexican is the last driver to complete the F2 grid for the new season and he can’t wait to keep improving results and continue his consistency with VAR.
“I’m extremely excited and grateful to be staying another year in F2 with VAR. Together with the team, we finished the season strongly which gives me great confidence heading into the new year. I can’t wait to get back on track, and work with the team to achieve even stronger results in the upcoming season.”
VAR Team Manager, Brad Joyce added: “We’re very happy to continue with Rafael for 2026. Over the past seasons, he’s shown strong commitment and a clear step forward in performance.
“The podiums in Barcelona and Qatar were defining moments, but more importantly, they reflect the progress we’ve made together. We’re looking forward to building on that momentum and fighting for the top steps of the podium together.”
Villagomez will partner Nicolas Varrone as the Argentine rookie steps up to the category.
