After making his single-seater debut in the Barcelona round of the 2017 French F4 Championship,[6] Eteki remained in the series the following year for his only full-time season in the series.[7] Opening up the season with wins at Nogaro and Pau,[8][9] Eteki then finished on the podium six more times in the following five rounds en route to a fourth-place points finish.[10] At the end of the year, Eteki became a Porsche Carrera Cup France Rising Star, earning him a scholarship to race in the series the following year.[11] Competing for Team 85 Bourgoin Racing in his rookie year,[12] Eteki scored a best result of fourth in the season-ending Le Castellet round to end the year eighth in points.[13] Switching to CLRT for his sophomore season,[14] Eteki scored a lone win at Le Castellet and finished on the podium at Le Mans en route to a sixth-place points finish.[15]
Switching to endurance racing for 2021, Eteki joined CD Sport to race in the LMP3 class of the Asian Le Mans Series at the start of the year.[16] In the four-race series, Eteki scored a best result of fourth in the Abu Dhabi finale to finish eighth in the LMP3 standings.[17] For the rest of the year, Eteki continued to race LMP3 machinery, as he remained with the team to compete in the Le Mans Cup, in which he took a best result of fifth at Algarve.[18] During 2021, Eteki also competed in the 4 Hours of Portimão for Inter Europol Competition, winning in LMP3 on his ELMS debut.[19]
The following year, Eteki joined Audi-fielding Boutsen Racing to race in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup, in which he finished 12th in the Gold Cup standings.[20] During 2022, Eteki made a one-off appearance to the LMP3 class of the Le Mans Cup at Imola for CD Sport, finishing fifth on his return to the series.[21] Continuing with Boutsen VDS for 2023, Eteki raced with them in both the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance and Sprint Cups.[22] In the former, Eteki took a Gold Cup win at Barcelona to finish fourth in points,[23] whereas in the latter, Eteki scored a lone Gold Cup win at Zandvoort to also end the season fourth in the standings.[24] Continuing in the Endurance Cup for 2024, Eteki switched to fellow Audi-fielding team CSA Racing for his third season in the series.[25] After scoring a Gold Cup podium at Le Castellet and racing at the 24 Hours of Spa,[26] Eteki left the team and was replaced by Hugo Cook for the remaining rounds.[27]
