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. [35] 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. [36] 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. [37]
Chiarello secured pole position once more for the season’s second round. [38] 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. [39] 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. [40]
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. [41] 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. [42] 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. [43] Both race results underwent scrutiny for potential technical violations, but no post-race penalties were issued. [44]
Chiarello remained unbeaten in qualifying, securing another pole position in the fourth round of the championship. [45] 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. [46] 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. [47]
Every driver taking part in qualifying or in one of the two races of a weekend and setting a time was awarded five points. [48]
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: [48]
