He secured eleven podium finishes, including seven wins, and ultimately became the champion, surpassing Mario Moraes and Diego Nunes.

European Racing

The following year, Razia ventured to Europe to participate in the Euroseries 3000. He started the season with Fisichella Motor Sport but switched to ELK Motorsport due to Alx Danielsson's departure. Throughout the season, he achieved four podium finishes and ended the season in third place in the Euroseries standings and fourth in the Italian championship, which was held within the main series. Razia also competed in four races in the World Series by Renault, replacing Ricardo Risatti at GD Racing.

By the end of 2006, Razia had tested a GP2 car for Racing Engineering at the Jerez circuit, and in September 2008, he conducted tests at Paul Ricard in Southern France.

On October 2, 2008, it was confirmed that Razia would compete for Trust Team Arden in the 2008-09 GP2 Asia season. He scored his first points in the night race in Qatar, finishing eighth in the main race and sixth in the sprint race. In the season's final race in Bahrain, Luis claimed his first victory, starting from pole position due to the reverse grid system, as he finished eighth in the previous race.
