2025 Formula 3 Champion Rafael Câmara steps up to F2 with Invicta Racing

Invicta Racing have confirmed the signing of 2025 Formula 3 Champion Rafael Câmara for the 2026 season, completing their line-up for next year.

After a stellar campaign in F3, during which he achieved four victories, five Pole Positions and podiums in total on his way to winning the title with a round to spare, Câmara will now step up to Formula 2 with Invicta.

Câmara graduates to the second tier with an impressive record in single seater racing having won the 2024 Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine, and finished third in the Middle East equivalent that same year and in 2023 also.

The Scuderia Ferrari Driver Academy member will now step up to Formula 2 with Invicta, racing alongside Joshua Duerksen.

At the announcement, Câmara spoke of his excitement at getting started with the team at the post-season test in Abu Dhabi ahead of the 2026 campaign.

“I’m very proud to be joining Invicta Racing for my first season in Formula 2,” said Câmara. “Over the past few years, this team has become the top target for any driver who wants to race in F2 and has shown time and again that it knows how to develop young drivers.

“To follow Gabriel Bortoleto and Leonardo Fornaroli in making this step as Formula 3 Champion is a huge honour. After an incredible season in F3 this year, I feel ready for the next challenge, and I can’t wait to get started with the team.”

Invicta Racing Team Principal James Robinson also added: “We’re thrilled to welcome Rafael to Invicta Racing for 2026. At every stage of his career to date, he’s shown pace, consistency, and maturity, delivering outstanding results that really speak for themselves.

“To have the reigning Formula 3 champion join the team for a third consecutive season underlines our commitment to providing the very best young talent with a platform to perform at the highest level, and we’re very excited to see what Rafael can achieve next season.”
