Career
Born in Knivsta,[1] Bouveng made his single-seater debut in 2011, racing for Trackstar in the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup.[2] Another season in the series then followed in 2012, this time with Interwetten.com Racing, in which Bouveng took a best result of fourth at Spa to end the year 22nd in points.[3][4] Switching to the Volkswagen Scirocco R-Cup for the next two years,[5] Bouveng finished tenth in 2013,[6] before taking six podiums the following year en route to a third-place points finish.[7]
In 2015, Bouveng joined the BMW Motorsport Junior Programme, as he began racing in the VLN Series with Walkenhorst Motorsport.[8][9] In his first year under the Bavarian marque's wing, Bouveng won the 24 Hours of Nürburgring in the SP8T class,[10] the 12 Hours of Brno in SP3 and made his GT3 debut towards the end of the year.[11][12] A full season in the SP9 class of the VLN Series then ensued in 2016, in which he took five podiums,[13][14] before Bouveng joined BMW Team Teo Martín to race in International GT Open.[15] In his only season in the series, Bouveng took wins at the Hungaroring and Le Castellet,[16][17] and five further podiums to secure runner-up honours overall alongside Fran Rueda.[18]
Remaining in GT3 machinery for 2018, Bouveng switched to BMW Team Schnitzer for his debut season in ADAC GT Masters.[19] Teaming up with Dennis Marschall, Bouveng took a lone third-place finish at the Red Bull Ring to end the year 28th in points.[20] At the end of the year, Bouveng represented Sweden in the only edition of the FIA GT Nations Cup alongside Alexander West.[21] From 2019 to 2023 (with the exception of 2020), Bouveng raced in GT4 Scandinavia,[22] finishing third in the Pro-Am standings in both 2022 and 2023 for M-Bilar Racing.[23][24]
Following the demise of GT4 Scandinavia, Bouveng switched to BMW-fielding Lestrup Racing Team to race in the GT4 European Series for 2024, in which he took a lone Pro-Am podium alongside Joakim Walde at Spa.[25] Switching to fellow BMW-aligned team Schubert Motorsport for 2025,[26] the pair took four second-place finishes in Pro-Am to end the year fourth in the standings.[27] Continuing with Schubert through 2026,[28] Bouveng and Walde began the season with their maiden class win at Le Castellet and three consecutive second-place finishes to take an early lead in points.[29][30]
