Van Amersfoort Racing have announced that they are set to continue their partnership with Rafael Villagomez, as he makes the step up to FIA Formula 2.
Villagomez joins having achieved multiple points finishes in his three years in Formula 3, including at the final round of the 2023 campaign in Monza.
The 22 year old also comes with experience in F2 machinery having completed the post-season test for the team last year at Yas Marina.
This means the Mexican driver is set to race in Van Amersfoort colours for the fourth consecutive season having competed for the Dutch outfit in 2021 at the Euroformula Open Championship, and in the following two years in Formula 3.
I am very excited to step up to F2. I am ready for this next level up. The dynamics coming from an F2 car are overly impressive, but I grew great confidence after a successful post-season test in Abu Dhabi last year. The test has proven to both myself and the people around me that F2 is the right category for me to further develop myself as a driver. The team and I know each other very well, which will only be of great benefit to all of us. I look very much forward to continuing our journey together and getting the season started.
Villagomez on the news.
As a team, we always aim for long-term cooperation with our drivers. The benefits of such a long-term relationship are extremely valuable and will help Rafael to progress at a high pace, as his experience in F3 will do of course. As a result of his unparalleled determination, we’ve seen Rafael grow and mature strongly as a driver and he is ready for this next challenge. We are fully committed to offering him our continuous support, especially in this exciting next chapter of his racing career.
Rob Niessink, Van Amersfoort CEO.
