Ugo Ugochukwu steps up to FIA Formula 2 with Campos Racing

Campos Racing is pleased to announce that Ugo Ugochukwu will join its FIA Formula 2 line-up for the 2027 season. The American driver and the Spanish team will therefore continue their partnership at the next stage of his career, aiming to build on the winning momentum established this season in FIA Formula 3, where Campos Racing secured both the Drivers’ and Teams’ Championships.

Born in New York and currently 19 years old, Ugochukwu will make his FIA Formula 2 debut at a particularly promising stage of his career. The championship represents one of the toughest challenges in international motorsport, both in terms of the quality of its competitors and the demands of the competition.

Ugochukwu began his karting career at just seven years old and quickly established himself as a rising talent, winning the Micro ROK Cup USA title in 2014 and the Florida Winter Tour in 2015. He continued to progress through the karting ranks, claiming victory in the X30 Mini category at the 2017 IAME International Open before winning the Challenge of the Americas in 2018.

Before making the transition to single-seaters, Ugochukwu won the FIA European Championship in the OK-Junior category and finished as runner-up in the OK class. His transition to single-seaters proved equally successful, as he claimed the Euro 4 Championship and finished third in the British Formula 4 Championship. In 2024, he further underlined his international potential by becoming the first American driver to win the prestigious Macau Grand Prix.

After finishing third in the 2025 Formula Regional Middle East Championship, Ugochukwu enjoyed an outstanding 2026 campaign. He began the year by winning the Formula Regional Oceania Trophy before completing his rise to the top with the FIA Formula 3 title. Racing with Campos Racing, he secured the championship with two victories, seven podium finishes and three fastest laps, demonstrating impressive consistency and continued improvement throughout the season.

Adrián Campos (Team Principal of Campos Racing): “Ugo is an exceptionally talented driver who has shown tremendous progress since we started working together. Winning the FIA Formula 3 title in our first season together is a fantastic achievement and reflects both his ability and his dedication to continuous improvement. We are very pleased with the relationship we have built and approach his FIA Formula 2 debut in 2027 with great optimism. We firmly believe in his potential and look forward to supporting him through this new challenge.”

Ugo Ugochukwu (Campos Racing Driver in FIA Formula 2): “Proud to announce I’ll be staying with Campos Racing for the 2027 FIA Formula 2 season. After winning the FIA F3 Championship together, I’m ready to take the next step and fight for more success.”
