In 2012, Orudzhev made his début in single-seaters, taking part in the French F4 Championship.[4] He closed the top ten in the series standings with seven point-scoring finishes, including two podiums – a second and a third – at the Bugatti Circuit.[5] He also contested single rounds in both Formula Renault 2.0 Alps and Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 with AV Formula and Fortec Motorsports respectively.[6][7]

For 2013, Orudzhev moved to Tech 1 Racing for full-season campaigns in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 and Formula Renault 2.0 Alps.[8] In the Eurocup, he took a podium finish in the opening race of the season at Motorland Aragon, as well as another eight point-scoring finishes.[9] In the Alps championship, he finished fifth with two podiums at Misano and Imola.

Orudzhev stayed with Tech 1 for the 2014 season.[10]
