After testing for the Renault World Series, he signed with Austrian squad Interwetten for the 2007 season and raced with Belgian team KTR in 2008. That year, he demonstrated strong capabilities during Formula Masters testing and competition, securing pole position at Monza despite encountering engine difficulties.

Between 2009 and 2013, Move consistently raced in the World Series by Renault with SMP Racing by Comtec and other teams. He regularly earned points and podium placements, finishing within the top ten overall in both 2009 and 2011. During this period, he was involved in Formula 1 development programs with Marussia and Lotus.

In 2013, he broadened his career into GT racing by participating in several Blancpain GT Series events driving a Ferrari for a Russian outfit.
