Óscar Andrés Tunjo (born 5 January 1996) is a professional racing driver from Colombia.

Karting

Originating from Cali, Tunjo started his karting journey at the age of five, competing in Colombian championships where he secured titles across multiple categories. In 2007, he transitioned to European karting competitions to further develop his skills.

Formula BMW

At fourteen, Tunjo made his single-seater debut in the 2010 Formula BMW Pacific championship with Meritus. He achieved one victory during a support event and added four more podium finishes, ultimately finishing second overall behind Richard Bradley.

Formula Renault

In 2011, Tunjo returned to Europe to race with Josef Kaufmann Racing in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 and participated part-time in the Formula Renault 2.0 NEC. He secured a top ten finish in the Eurocup standings, highlighted by a podium at the Hungaroring, and also achieved a podium in the NEC series at the Nürburgring.

The following year, Tunjo joined Tech 1 Racing and competed simultaneously in both the Formula Renault 2.0 Alps and Eurocup championships. He concluded the Alps series in fourth place with two wins, while placing seventh in the Eurocup, including a victory at Barcelona.

In 2013, Tunjo returned to Josef Kaufmann Racing for another season in the NEC and Eurocup series. He improved his Eurocup ranking to sixth and claimed a win at Spa within the NEC championship.

Formula Renault 3.5 Series

Initially set to debut in the FIA European Formula Three Championship in 2014 with Signature, Tunjo’s plans changed when Signature withdrew from competition. Subsequently, he signed with Pons Racing to compete in the Formula Renault 3.5 Series for both the 2014 and 2015 seasons.
