Career

Karting

Born in Arzignano, Ghiotto entered karting in 2008, when he took the title in the KF3 class of the Champions Cup,[1] before he finished fourth the following year.[2] Ghiotto remained in the KF3 category until the end of 2010.

Formula Abarth

In 2011, Ghiotto made his début in single-seaters, taking part in the Formula Abarth series for Prema Powerteam.[3] He finished ninth in the Italian Series standings with a single podium at Misano, while in the European Series he finished sixth with four podiums.[4] He contested a sophomore campaign with the same team in 2012, improving to runner-up spots in both championships.[5]

Formula Renault

Ghiotto remained with Prema, as they moved to the 2-litre Formula Renault machinery to compete in the final rounds of Formula Renault 2.0 Alps and Formula Renault 2.0 NEC at the end of 2012. For 2013, Ghiotto had full-time campaigns in both Formula Renault 2.0 Alps and the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0, staying with Prema.[6] He took a podium finish at Le Castellet, as well as a victory at Spa,[7] and finished ninth in the final championship standings. In the Alps series, he scored five wins and finished as runner-up to team-mate Antonio Fuoco. Also he won the main race of Pau Trophy.[8]

Ghiotto graduated to the Formula Renault 3.5 Series in 2014, competing for International Draco Racing.[9]
