Career
Karting
Ugran made his motorsport debut in karting in 2016, where he remained active until 2018. The Romanian took part in championships such as the WSK Super Master Series, WSK Final Cup and the CIK-FIA International Super Cup. He also raced in the 2016 edition of the CIK-FIA Karting Academy Trophy, where he finished 38th.[4]
Lower formulae
In 2019, he made his debut in formula racing in the Italian F4 Championship with BVM Racing.[5] He was the only driver in the team to drive the entire season, making for a difficult debut year. Only with a tenth place in the season finale at the Monza did he manage to score a point, putting him in 26th place in the standings. He also drove as a guest driver for BVM in a race weekend of the ADAC Formula 4 Championship at the Hockenheimring, where he finished 14th in both races. At the end of the year Ugran drove in the season finale of the F4 Spanish Championship at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya with Jenzer Motorsport.[6] He finished on the podium in all races, with two second places and one third place, but because he was a guest driver he was not awarded any championship points.
In 2020 Ugran remained active in Italian F4, switching to Jenzer.[7] His results improved significantly and he scored his first win at the Imola Circuit. Ugran was on the podium a total of five times during the season, which lead to him finishing eighth in the standings with 133 points.[8] The Romanian also drove for Jenzer in the Spanish F4 race weekend at Le Castellet, where he won two races and finished second in the third.[9][10] With 55 points, he finished tenth in the standings despite competing in only that one single weekend.
FIA Formula 3 Championship
For the 2021 season Ugran remained with Jenzer, but progressed to the FIA Formula 3 Championship, where he partnered Calan Williams.[11] At the first round in Barcelona the Romanian found himself fighting for positions in the lower midfield, and issues with tyre management in France as well as troubles with track limits at Spielberg left the Romanian bottom of the standings after the opening third of the season, with a best race result of 21st place. Ugran managed to achieve a then-best finish of 19th in race two in Budapest and Spa-Francorchamps, allowing the Romanian to move off the bottom of the table.[12] At the penultimate round in Zandvoort Ugran qualified a season-best 21st, and finished 15th in race one, bettering his previous best finishing position by four places.[13] In the second race Ugran managed to end up in 12th at the checkered flag, but was demoted to 24th after the race stewards found him guilty of a collision with Jonny Edgar.[14] The Romanian did not score points in the final weekend at Sochi, thus leading to Ugran finishing 31st in the drivers' standings. After the end of the season Ugran took part in the post-season test at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo, driving for Jenzer, Charouz Racing System and Van Amersfoort Racing on each day respectively.[15]
Euroformula Open Championship
Ugran moved to the Euroformula Open Championship in 2022, signing for Van Amersfoort Racing.[16]
