He also contested single rounds in both Formula Renault 2.0 Alps and Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 with AV Formula and Fortec Motorsports respectively.

For 2013, Orudzhev moved to Tech 1 Racing for full-season campaigns in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 and Formula Renault 2.0 Alps. In the Eurocup, he took a podium finish in the opening race of the season at Motorland Aragon, as well as another eight point-scoring finishes. In the Alps championship, he finished fifth with two podiums at Misano and Imola.

Orudzhev stayed with Tech 1 for the 2014 season.
