Campbell-Pilling switched to JHR Developments for the 2025 season.[7] After taking his maiden podium in the reverse-grid race at Silverstone,[8][9] Campbell-Pilling finished third in race one at Knockhill before taking his only win of the season in race three.[10] In his second and final season in British F4, Campbell-Pilling closed out his tenure in the series with another 10th-place points finish, this time on 127.5 points.[11] At the end of the year, Campbell-Pilling joined Xcel Motorsport to compete in Formula Trophy.[12] After taking two podiums on his debut round at Dubai,[13] Campbell-Pilling took his only win of the season from pole in race one of the second Yas Marina round to end the year third in points.[14]

Remaining in the UAE for the start of 2026, Campbell-Pilling joined Pinnacle Motorsport to race in the UAE4 Series.[15] Following a third-place finish in race three of the opening Yas Marina round, Campbell-Pilling only scored one other top 10 in the remaining three rounds as he ended the season 13th in the standings.[16][17]
