Fresh from a second victory of the campaign, Invicta Racing drivers Rafael Câmara and Joshua Dürksen head to Spielberg, Austria, for Round 6 of the 2026 FIA Formula 2 season
At the fifth round of the 2026 season, held at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, Rafael converted pole position into his maiden FIA Formula 2 win in the Feature Race.
After finishing sixth in the Sprint, the Brazilian executed a strategic masterclass on Sunday to secure victory, scoring a total of 30 points across the weekend.
For Joshua, who qualified second, contact at the start of the Sprint limited his progress, while a grid penalty for the Feature restricted his points-scoring opportunities.
Invicta Racing heads to Austria in fourth in the Teams’ Championship, while Rafael sits in third and Joshua 11th in the Drivers’ Standings.

Situated in the rolling Styrian hills, the fast and flowing Red Bull Ring is characterised by its sweeping elevation changes and high-speed straights.
A technical second sector rewards a perfectly balanced car setup in Qualifying. However, with countless overtaking opportunities, the track always provides consistent wheel-to-wheel action.
KEY CORNERS
-
Turn 1: Carry too much speed into the Niki Lauda Curve and drivers will run wide on exit, making the right-hander a track limits hotspot.
-
Turn 3: A heavy braking event situated at the end of a long DRS zone, the right-hand hairpin is the Red Bull Ring’s primary overtaking spot.
-
Turn 9: The penultimate corner, a high-speed right-hander, rewards commitment. However, the smallest mistake can prove costly.

Invicta Racing has secured one victory and a total of three podium finishes in its past four races at the Red Bull Ring.
Both drivers have competed at the circuit before, with Joshua scoring his second podium of the 2025 FIA Formula 2 season at the venue last year.
JAMES ROBINSON, TEAM PRINCIPAL
“Converting pole position into a convincing victory in Barcelona reflected the level of performance we know we’re capable of as a team. At the Red Bull Ring, which is a circuit that both Rafael and Joshua know well, and a venue that we have traditionally been competitive at, we have now an opportunity to build and capitalise on our recent momentum. As is always the case, the margins in Formula 2 are incredibly small and the championship rewards consistency, but I’m confident that we can be in the hunt again this weekend.”
