2015-16: F1RDS
2015
For the 2015 F1RDS Czech Grand Prix, Foster's Good Call Racing decided to give a try-out to Castañeda, the team protégé, momentarily taking the spot of 21-year-old Alexis Tantovich. Angel scored two top tens on début, for a total of five points. Tantovich subsequently signed for Scuderia Alitalia, and Angel signed with Foster's Good Call for the remaining five rounds of the season, also being offered a full-time drive for 2016.
Angel finished in third place in the second race in Great Britain, but Foster's Good Call were in a steep decline, and Castañeda never finished higher than in twentieth after that. His team mate Gary Pacer left the team after Germany to move to F3RWRS and was replaced by Scott Marsden, who easily outpaced Angel, but still failed to score more than four points in the remaining four races.
Marsden was kept for 2016 alongside Jack Connolly, and Angel had to look for a drive elsewhere. After being rumoured for a seat at Scuderia Vittore in the RoLFS, Angel signed with Manchester-based Definitely Maybe Racing alongside Jari Lappalainen.
