Career
Lower formulae
Chovet first appeared in single seaters as a guest driver at the tail end of the 2017 French F4 Championship at the age of 15. In his debut race at Magny-Cours Chovet finished 15th however the following race he failed to take his drive through penalty leading to a disqualification from the race and subsequently being excluded from the 3rd and final race.[1] Chovet finished the season two 8th-place finishes and a win at Circuit Paul Ricard by beating pole-sitter Jean-Baptiste Mela by 1 and a half seconds, due to him being a guest driver he was unable to score any points.
In 2018 Chovet returned for a full-time race seat in the Mygale M14 car.[2] Chovet stood on the podium for the first time that season in only the second race at Circuit Paul Armagnac behind Caio Collet and Arthur Leclerc, he retired from the next race however this was the first and only time Chovet wouldn't finish in the points that season. A handful of podiums including a 2nd place at Spa-Francorchamps saw Chovet sit in 6th place in the championship with 100 points before missing round 6 at Magny-Cours, he returned for the next race in Jerez where he grabbed second place for the second time that season. Chovet took his first victory of the season at the penultimate race of the season, finishing ahead of compatriots Théo Nouet and Adam Eteki.
Euroformula Open
Chovet only raced 7 times in 2019 and it was for RP Motorsport in the Euroformula Open Championship.[3] In the first race he finished 36 seconds behind race winner Liam Lawson in 14th place, in the following race he tired and Javier Gonzalez, his teammate, was unable to take the start caused by a mechanical issue. The pair took a break due to complaints about their Toyota engines and returned for the 4th rounds at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps with new Spiess-powered cars, this was where Chovet took his only points finish of the season in 9th place climbing the field from 17th. He finished the season in 23rd with 2 points.
Formula Regional European Championship
In 2020 Chovet raced for Van Amersfoort Racing in the Formula Regional European Championship. He won a race at Catalunya and finished fifth in the standings, second-best of the non-Prema drivers behind Patrik Pasma.
Formula 3
It was announced that Max Fewtrell would be leaving Hitech Grand Prix prior to the 7th round of the 2020 FIA Formula 3 Championship.[4] The next day, on 25 August 2020, it was announced that Chovet would replace Fewtrell for the Spa-Francorchamps round.[5] He scored a sixth-place finish in only his fourth race at Monza.
In 2021 Chovet will drive for Jenzer Motorsport full-time in the FIA Formula 3 Championship, partnering Calan Williams.[6]
