In 2011 at just fourteen years, Tuscher graduated to single–seaters, racing in the newly launched Formula Pilota China series in Asia for Jenzer Welch Asia Racing under Czech racing license.[2] He dominated from beginning of the season, winning eight races on all six venues and the championship title.

He scored his first podium of the series in the following round in Algarve, finishing second in both races, and moving into second in the standings.
