Formula 4

2021

He started his single-seater career well, taking two third places in the opening two rounds.

For his main campaign, Inthraphuvasak would drive for Carlin in the F4 British Championship.

Following that, Inthraphuvasak did not stand on the podium again, but scored in six of the remaining nine races, meaning he finished seventh in the standings.

He took pole position for race 3, and converted it into a race win, his only of the season.

Inthraphuvasak converted his third place start in the sprint to a podium in behind his winning teammate Nikita Bedrin, scoring AIX Racing's first 1-2 in Formula 3. This was Inthraphuvasak's only points finish of the season, as he finished the season 24th overall.

2025

Inthraphuvasak moved to Campos Racing for the 2025 FIA Formula 3 Championship, his sophomore season in the category. He started his season strong in Melbourne, qualifying seventh which allowed him to take a double points finish. This was followed by three scoreless events, being stopped only with a ninth place finish during the Barcelona sprint race. He then made up positions in the Austrian sprint race and finished fourth, but a slow getaway in the feature race eliminated his chances of points. Inthraphuvasak took his first Formula 3 win during the sprint race in Silverstone, having battled Théophile Naël for the lead mid-race. He looked set for more points on Sunday, but he struggled in the wet and dropped out of the points from fourth. After finishing sixth in the Spa-Francorchamps sprint race, Inthraphuvasak secured his second victory during the Budapest sprint race, leading from lights-to-flag. He finished tenth in the feature race. In Monza, Inthraphuvasak qualified a career best fourth, but was unable to score points in the sprint following an off-track excursion on the first lap. Nevertheless, he scored his first feature race win the next day, following a double pass at Rettifilo on Brad Benavides and teammate Nikola Tsolov. His late run of form leaped Inthraphuvasak to seventh in the standings with 74 points, helping Campos to clinch the teams' title for the first time in F3 history.
