Career

Karting

Born in Ekenäs, Finland, but raised in St. Petersburg,[1] Troitskiy competed in karting for a number of years after some encouragement from fellow countryman Robert Shwartzman.[2]

Lower formulae

In 2015, Troitskiy graduated to single-seaters in the SMP F4 and French F4 Championships. He claimed a win and finished sixth in the former whilst finishing thirteenth in the latter.[citation needed]

Later that month, Troitskiy partook in the MRF Challenge and finished third overall.[citation needed]

Formula Renault 2.0 NEC

In 2016, Troitskiy switched to the sport with Fortec Motorsports.[3] He finished thirteenth overall, with a podium in his first race.

Euroformula Open

Troitskiy also raced in two rounds of the Euroformula Open Championship with Drivex, claiming a pole and third place in the second race at Monza.[4]

The following year, Troitskiy reunited with Drivex to contest the series.[5] He wasn't able to win, but finished as runner-up to Harrison Scott with nine podium finishes in the 18 races. In the final race of the season, Felipe Drugovich won the race, but was ineligible to score points and Nikita Troitskiy win the last race.
