Career Karting Born in Phuket to a Norwegian father, Martin Stuvik, and a Thai mother. Stuvik began karting in 2002 in the local karting championships. 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. He also won the series' Winter Cup.
Stuvik moved to Europe in 2011, joining KEO Racing for Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0. He finished 28th, without scoring a point. He also competed in two rounds of the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup.
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.
Euroformula Open Stuvik graduated to the European F3 Open Championship, with RP Motorsport, in 2013. 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.
Stuvik remained in the series, now renamed as the Euroformula Open Championship, with RP Motorsport. He dominated the championship, winning ten out of fourteen races, and clinched the championship with a round to spare.
GP3 Series In 2015, Stuvik moved up to GP3 with Status Grand Prix.
Thailand Super Series Following his transition from European open-wheel racing, Stuvik shifted his focus to GT racing in Asia full-time for the 2019 season. He signed with B-Quik Absolute Racing to compete in the Thailand Super Series' premier category, the TSS Supercar GT3. In his debut season, Stuvik secured his first GT3 Drivers' Championship piloting an Audi R8 LMS GT3. He successfully defended his crown during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. Partnering with Australian co-driver Daniel Bilski, Stuvik clinched his consecutive title following a dominant double-win performance at the season finale held at the Chang International Circuit in Buriram. After finishing as runner-up in 2021, Stuvik reclaimed the top spot in 2022. Competing as a solo driver in the upgraded Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo II, he secured his third overall series title.
