Karting
Born in Maringá to a Croatian mother and a Brazillian father, Drugovich competed in numerous karting championships across Brazil and Europe, taking major championship victories.[2]
Lower formula
Drugovich made his single-seaters debut in 2016, joining Neuhauser Racing in ADAC Formula 4. There he achieved a podium and finished fourth in the rookie standings and twelfth overall. The following season, Drugovich switched to Van Amersfoort Racing, and also made his debut in Italian F4 with the team.[3][4]
Drugovich also competed in the MRF Challenge, claiming his maiden single-seater victory in the second race of round two and finishing fourth overall.
Euroformula Open
Drugovich made his debut in the final round of the 2017 season as a guest driver with RP Motorsport, scoring a pole and victory in the two races.[5] The following year, Drugovich reunited with RP to contest the championship full-time.[6] He proceeded to dominate the championship, claiming a record fourteen wins and taking the title at Monza with two rounds to spare.[7][8]

After testing with them in post-season testing at Yas Marina, Drugovich was signed to MP Motorsport for the 2020 season,[11] partnering Nobuharu Matsushita. Drugovich won the sprint races at Austria Round 1 and Spain as well as the feature race at Bahrain Round 1.
