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.

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 championship's 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. His performances across these stints established him as one of the most successful GT3 competitors in the history of the Thailand Super Series, while simultaneously netting multiple Teams' Championships for B-Quik Absolute Racing.
