In 2018, Pourchaire made the switch to formula racing, in which he made his debut in the French Formula 4 championship.

He dominated this class with conviction by winning 16 out of 21 races, accumulating 408.5 points to become champion. Moreover, he took an overall victory in the second race at Spa-Francorchamps.

In 2019, Pourchaire switched to the ADAC Formula 4 championship, in which he drove for the US Racing-CHRS team.

During the season, he was on the podium in six other races, including the last four races of the season. With 161 points, he finished second in the championship, just three points behind Oscar Piastri. At the end of the year, he made his debut in Formula 2 with team BWT HWA Racelab during the last two race weekends at the Bahrain International Circuit as Jake Hughes' replacement.

With 140 points, he finished fifth in the championship.

In 2022, Pourchaire remained active in Formula 2 with ART. He started the season strongly with victories in Bahrain and at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, which temporarily put him in the lead in the championship. During the rest of the season, however, he experienced a lot of mechanical bad luck and only managed to win at the Hungaroring. Besides his victories, he achieved four more podium finishes, resulting in second place in the standings with 164 points, behind Felipe Drugovich.

In 2023, Pourchaire will compete in Formula 2 for a third year in a row. He will once again drive for ART. His teammate is Victor Martins.
