With regular driver Romain Grosjean serving a one-race ban for causing a serious accident at the Belgian Grand Prix, the team promoted regular test driver Jérôme d'Ambrosio to fill Grosjean's seat for the race, and Korjus was recruited to fill in the vacant reserve driver position.

With his results and potential in the Formula Renault series, Korjus joined the Renault Driver Development programme for the continuation of his career. He was signed to drive for Formula Renault 3.5 Series team Tech 1 Racing in late 2010.

Korjus stepped up to the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 championship for its 2010 season, and moved to the Koiranen Bros. Motorsport team. Despite qualifying on the third row for both races, Korjus won them both, becoming the first driver to win a race in the championship in the newly introduced cars designed by Barazi-Epsilon.

Of those podiums, three were race victories that came in the final four races of the season, including a double at Ahvenisto. Korjus continued with the team into the 2009 season, but moved into the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup. Korjus finished all bar one race as he finished fifth in the championship; his best result being a second-place finish at Most.
