Toyota Racing Series

Piquet debuted in single-seater cars in the 2014 Toyota Racing Series. He struggled in the first six races, finishing no higher than 13th. His season was then brought to a premature end by licensing problems relating to his age.[3]

For 2016, he will return to the series, racing for M2 Competition.[4]

Brazilian Formula Three

Following his derailed season in the Toyota Racing Series, Piquet returned to Brazil and began racing in Brazilian Formula Three in 2014. He had an extremely successful season, winning 11 of the 16 races and the championship.[5] In 2015, he chose to continue racing in Brazilian Formula Three and he is currently leading the championship.

European Formula 3

In 2016, Piquet will step up to European Formula 3 with Van Amersfoort Racing

Other racing experience

Alongside his single-seater racing, Piquet has participated in other events. In 2014, he entered and won the Brazilian Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge. He also entered one race in the Global Rallycross Championship, taking a podium, and one race in the Brazilian Mercedes-Benz Challenge C250 Cup. In 2015, he started two races in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, scoring no points. He also raced again in the Brazilian Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge, this time scoring two podiums in six races.[6]
