Career

Karting

Born in Phuket, Stuvik began karting in 2002 in the local karting championships.[1] He progressed to the Rotax Max Junior category by 2008, continuing to compete in local karting championships.

Formula Renault

In 2010, Stuvik moved into open-wheel racing, competing in the Asian Formula Renault Challenge with the Asia Racing Team. He finished every race of the season on the podium, including four wins, and clinched the championship title.[2] He also won the series' Winter Cup.[3]

Stuvik moved to Europe in 2011, joining KEO Racing for Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0.[4] He finished 28th, without scoring a point.[5] He also competed in two rounds of the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup.[6]

For the next year Stuvik concentrated on the Northern European Cup. He had fourteen point-scoring finishes in twenty races on his way to fourteenth position in the series standings.[7]

Euroformula Open

Stuvik graduated to the European F3 Open Championship, with RP Motorsport, in 2013.[8] He finished every race of the season in the top five. He battled with Ed Jones for the title, but due to dropped points he finished as runner-up.[9]

Stuvik remained in the series, now renamed as the Euroformula Open Championship, with RP Motorsport.[10] He dominated the championship, winning ten out of fourteen races, and clinched the championship with a round to spare.

GP3 Series

In 2015, Stuvik will move up to GP3 with Status Grand Prix.
