Career
Karting
Kutskov had an impressive karting career, He entered his first championship at the European stage in 2017, where he finished 11th in the 60 Mini category of the WSK Final Cup.[6] Kutskov then embarked on a full season of European karting in 2018, with best results of 6th in the WSK Super Master Series and the WSK Final Cup.[7][8] In 2019, he became more consistent, and finished on the championship podium in the South Garda Winter Cup.[9][10] In a disrupted campaign due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Kutskov stepped up to OKJ karting in 2020. He also made his debut at the Karting World Championship.[11] In 2021, Kutskov got his first championship podium in the category, finishing second in the Champions of the Future series, narrowly missing out on the title.[12] Kutskov continued in OKJ for one more year, building more consistency, before stepping up to OK karts in 2023.[9] Kutskov showed his full potential in 2023. Firstly, he won his first European karting championship by winning the title in the WSK Euro Series by 66 points.[13] Then, he became the Karting World Champion after winning the prestigious event and adding himself to a list of prestigious champions at Franciacorta.[14][15][16]
Formula 4
2023
Kutskov made his F4 debut in the 2024 F4 Saudi Arabian Championship Trophy Event. He scored a best result of 4th in the first race of the event.[17]
2024
After competing in the Trophy Event, Kutskov prepared for a full season of the 2024 F4 Saudi Arabian Championship. After a slow start, Kutskov broke away from the chasing pack to close in on the top two drivers of the championship, Federico Al Rifai and Andrej Petrovic.[18][19] Kutskov eventually finished 3rd in the championship, 70 points behind eventual champion Al Rifai.[20] He ended the season with one win and eight podiums to his name. Kutskov was then announced to be competing in the 2024 Formula 4 CEZ Championship, with Maffi Racing.[21] He won race three of round 1 at the Balaton Park Circuit.[22] He then went on to secure another win at the Autodrom Most, and at the final round at the Salzburgring, Kutskov completed the clean sweep of wins by taking all three victories.[23][24][25] Despite going on to secure six wins in the championship (the most of any driver in the series) and twelve podiums, Kutskov would only take second in the final standings, also helping his team to a second-placed finish.[26][27]
