Karting

Prior to turning professional, Onidi competed in karting, where he secured sixth place in the European Championship's ICA Junior division and claimed the Italian ICA Junior championship title in 2003.

Formula BMW

Onidi launched his single-seater racing career in 2004 by competing in the Formula BMW ADAC series, driving for ADAC Berlin-Brandenburg e.V. alongside future Formula One competitor Sebastian Vettel. He ended the season eighth overall, highlighted by earning pole position at Brno. In 2005, he joined Eifelland Racing but finished 11th in the standings after missing three rounds. Additionally, he took part in the Formula BMW World Final held at the Bahrain International Circuit, where he retired from the race.

Formula Renault 2.0

Towards the end of 2005, Onidi signed with Fortec Motorsport to compete in the British Formula Renault 2.0 Winter Series, accumulating 20 points and placing 17th overall. He remained with Fortec for the full 2006 season, finishing as the highest-ranked rookie in 11th position.

In 2007, Onidi raced with Motorsport Arena across both the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 and Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup. His best result in the Eurocup was eighth place, concluding the season 20th overall. Meanwhile, in the Northern European Cup, podium finishes at Zandvoort and Nürburgring contributed to a ninth-place championship finish despite missing six events.

Later that year, he competed in the four-race Italian Formula Renault 2.0 Winter Series with RP Motorsport, achieving two podiums and securing third place in the final standings, narrowly missing second place on a tiebreaker to Daniel Zampieri of Cram Competition.

Euroseries 3000/Auto GP

In 2008, Onidi progressed to the Euroseries 3000 championship with GP Racing, capturing victories at Vallelunga and Valencia to finish as runner-up behind Nicolas Prost. Concurrently, he finished second in the Italian Formula 3000 series, falling short of the title by a single point to Omar Leal.

Continuing into 2009 with Italian outfit Fisichella Motor Sport alongside Rodolfo González, Onidi won races at Portimão and Vallelunga but ended the season third overall behind Marco Bonanomi and champion Will Bratt.

The championship was renamed Auto GP in 2010; Onidi competed for Team Lazarus as their sole driver. He secured four podium finishes and wrapped up the season eighth in the standings, level on points with seventh-placed Carlos Iaconelli. Remaining with Lazarus for 2011, Onidi finished fifth overall ahead of teammate Fabrizio Crestani by seven points.

A1 Grand Prix

Onidi made his debut in A1 Grand Prix competition in October 2008, representing A1 Team Italy during the opening round of the 2008–09 season at Zandvoort, Netherlands. Despite difficult weather conditions, he achieved seventh place in the sprint race but retired from the feature race following contact with A1 Team South Africa driver Adrian Zaugg.

GP2 Series

Towards the end of 2008, Onidi participated in testing sessions for BCN Competición, Piquet GP, and Super Nova Racing at Circuit Paul Ricard. The following year, in 2009, he took part in a test with Coloni Motorsport at Jerez. Onidi made his debut in a GP2 race during the 2011 non-championship season finale, driving for Super Nova alongside Giacomo Ricci. He then secured a full-time seat in the 2012 GP2 Series with Scuderia Coloni, partnering with Stefano Coletti, and concluded the season ranked 20th overall.

Other series

In April 2010, Onidi was behind the wheel for Tech 1 Racing during the final pre-season GP3 Series test held at Circuit de Catalunya. Later that year, in October, he completed tests for Fortec Motorsport and ISR Racing in a Formula Renault 3.5 Series car at Motorland Aragón.
