## Teams and drivers

## Season report
### First half

The 2024 Fórmula Nacional Argentina season commenced with four rounds at the Autódromo Oscar y Juan Gálvez, and Santiago Chiarello of MG Competición secured pole position during the opening qualifying session. He led every lap of the first race, achieving his second victory in the series, with Andrés Brion from Jorge Typek Competición and Kevin Ferreyra of MR Racing completing the podium. The second race took place in wet conditions, but Chiarello maintained his dominance despite the challenging track, finishing first once more. The podium lineup remained unchanged from race one, leaving Chiarello with an early championship advantage after the inaugural weekend.
Chiarello secured pole position once more for the season’s second round. He extended his winning streak in the first race, but only after GD Sport’s Daniella Ore was penalized for a false start and dropped to second ahead of Chiarello’s teammate Ayrton Gardoqui. The second race saw Ore briefly overtake Chiarello for the lead before a collision between the two resulted in her retirement and Chiarello’s exclusion from the race. This allowed MR Racing’s Kevin Ferreyra to claim his maiden victory, finishing ahead of SV Formula’s Alejandro Guttlein and Domínguez Competición’s Joaquín Domínguez. Despite the incident, Chiarello maintained a 23-point championship lead over Ferreyra.
Jorge Typek Competición’s Andrés Brion set the fastest time in qualifying for round three but was disqualified, awarding Chiarello his third pole position in a row. The first race saw Ore achieve a great victory, starting from 11th and overtaking the field to secure the win. She finished ahead of pole-sitter Chiarello and Brion, becoming the first woman to claim a victory in series history. In race two, Chiarello responded with a win, finishing ahead of Brion and GD Sport’s newcomer Julián Ramos, extending his championship lead to 47 points over Ore in second. Both race results underwent scrutiny for potential technical violations, but no post-race penalties were issued.
Chiarello remained unbeaten in qualifying, securing another pole position in the fourth round of the championship. The first race saw Ramos claim victory, triumphing in only his third start. Points leader Chiarello finished second, followed by MR Racing’s Bautista Faccioli in third. Chiarello’s closest challenger Ore was excluded from the race, so he extended his lead. In the second race, Chiarello returned to the top step of the podium, solidifying his status as the most successful driver in the championship's history at the Buenos Aires track. Ramos took second place, while Ore completed the podium. This result increased Chiarello's lead in the standings to 79 points.

### Second half

The second half of the season featured a new venue in the Autódromo Parque Ciudad de Río Cuarto, though the top spot in qualifying remained unchanged as Chiarello secured pole position once again. In the first race, Ramos started seventh and climbed through the field to secure his second victory of the season. Chiarello finished second and SV Fórmula’s Facundo Gutiérrez took third in his return to the series. Race two opened with a spin by poleman Chiarello, allowing Ramos to take the lead. He successfully defended his position to claim another win. Chiarello recovered to finish second, ahead of Ferreyra. Ore failed to secure a podium finish and was now 93 points behind Chiarello.
Round six of the championship, held at the Autódromo de Concepción del Uruguay, saw Ramos put an end to Chiarello’s streak of pole positions. Still, he was unable to start the first race due to a gearbox failure. The race was won by 2024 runner-up Emiliano Stang, who made a one-off appearance with Jorge Typek Competición. Reverse-grid pole sitter Ferreyra secured second place, with Faccioli completing the podium in third. Ramos recovered in race two, delivering a lights-to-flag victory ahead of Chiarello and Stang. With Ore excluded from race one and finishing fifth in race two, Chiarello extended his lead to 113 points, while Ramos closed up to within two points of the Peruvian.
The penultimate round of the year saw the series return to Buenos Aires, where Ramos took his second pole position. The first race saw MR Racing driver Tomás Fernández take his maiden win. He benefitted by a collision between Ramos and Jorge Typek Competición’s Juan Cruz Farías that dropped Ramos down to last place. Still, Ramos was able to put on a brilliant comeback drive to recover to third behind championship leader Chiarello. Race two saw pole sitter Ramos obtain a lights-to-flag victory, leading the field throughout two safety car interruptions. Ore came second, but with Chiarello third, no one could deny him the championship title.
The Autódromo Oscar Cabalén hosted the season finale, and MG Competición driver Lautaro Campione claimed pole position on his series debut. The first race began with Ore in the lead, but after a collision with Gutiérrez, she was judged to have performed a dangerous maneuver and was excluded from the race. That left champion-elect Chiarello to claim his sixth win ahead of Gardoqui and Campione. The final race of the year proved to be another demonstration of Chiarello’s pace as he led home Jorge Typek Competición's debutant Julio Velázquez and Faccioli, taking another victory to also secure the Teams’ Championship for his team in the process.
Fórmula Nacional Argentina’s 2024 season began with political turmoil off-track when the two major Argentine motorsport governing bodies in Argentina, ACTC and ACA, announced a split. That led to the creation of the rival Fórmula 2 Argentina series and the curious sight of none of the teams that competed in 2023 entering the 2024 season. Still, the series enjoyed high interest, climaxing in a record 23 cars entering the season finale. On track, Chiarello convincingly beat any opposition, taking seven wins and seven further podiums on his way to the title. Still, Ramos was able to hold his own against him on multiple occasions, but as he did not enter the first two rounds, Chiarello already had a comfortable lead when Ramos started beating him.

## Championship standings
### Scoring system

Every driver taking part in qualifying or in one of the two races of a weekend and setting a time was awarded five points.

#### Qualifying points

Each qualifying session awarded one point to the fastest driver. Afterwards, the five fastest drivers took part in the "super qualifying" session, each setting one lap to set the top five positions. These five drivers were also awarded points, provided they set a lap:
| Position in qualifying | 1st |
| Points | 1 |
| Position in super qualifying | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th |
| Points | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 |

#### Race points

| Position | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | 6th | 7th | 8th | 9th | 10th | 11th | 12th | 13th | 14th | 15th |
| Points | 25 | 20 | 17 | 15 | 13 | 11 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
The two worst weekends points-wise of each driver were dropped. Rounds where a driver was excluded from a race were not allowed to be dropped.
