Bulgarian racing sensation Nikola Tsolov has officially confirmed that he will stay with Campos Racing for the 2026 Formula 2 season. The announcement, made on Tuesday, ends speculation over a possible team switch as Tsolov continues his journey with the Spanish outfit.
The confirmation follows earlier reports by Bulgarian media outlet Novinite, which suggested that the young driver could be stepping up to Formula 2. Now, with his seat secured at Campos Racing, Tsolov’s career takes another decisive step forward in motorsport’s competitive feeder ladder.
Tsolov’s connection with Campos Racing has been central to his rise. After making his mark in Formula 4 with the team, where he claimed victories and showcased his raw talent, the Bulgarian continued his development in Formula 3.
His relationship with Campos has proven fruitful, combining consistent results with a growing reputation for speed and composure.
The 2025 Formula 3 season marked one of Tsolov’s strongest campaigns to date. Racing for Campos, he secured two race wins and four additional podium finishes, achievements that propelled him to second place in the championship.
His performance not only confirmed his status as a top contender but also cemented him as one of the brightest young prospects in international motorsport.
In total, across three seasons in Formula 3, Tsolov amassed five career victories — the most of any driver in the history of the feeder championship. This record reflects both his consistency and his ability to deliver under pressure, qualities that will serve him well in the highly competitive world of Formula 2.
Tsolov’s decision to remain with Campos Racing is also a vote of confidence in the team. The Spanish outfit has played a pivotal role in nurturing young talent over the years, and their continued collaboration with Tsolov highlights the mutual trust built between driver and team.
“I am excited to continue this journey with Campos Racing,” Tsolov said in a brief statement. “We’ve achieved great things together, and I believe Formula 2 will be another step where we can deliver strong results.”
For Bulgaria, Tsolov’s rise through the motorsport ranks has become a source of national pride. His achievements bring increased visibility to a country not traditionally associated with high-level racing, inspiring a new generation of young drivers.
As the 2026 season approaches, expectations will be high. Formula 2 has long been a proving ground for drivers aspiring to reach Formula 1, and Tsolov’s proven track record suggests he is well-positioned to challenge for success.
With his blend of determination, skill, and the backing of Campos Racing, Nikola Tsolov’s next chapter promises to be one of the most compelling stories in the world of motorsport.
