Personal life
Tóth is proficient in several languages, including Hungarian, English, French, German, and Dutch.
Karting
Tóth began his motorsport journey in 2013, honing essential skills through karting. He started competing within Hungary before progressing to contests such as the German Karting Championship and the Euro Challenge. Notable achievements during his karting tenure include securing third place in both the Hungarian championship and the 2016 Rotax Max Wintercup. In 2017, he attained 48th position in the CIK-FIA Karting European Championship.
2018
Tóth made his debut in the fourth round of the 2017-18 Formula 4 UAE Championship at Yas Marina Circuit as a guest driver, recording a best finish of ninth place. During 2018, he participated in the opening three weekends of the 2018 Italian F4 Championship with DR Motorsport, achieving a highest finish of 18th and concluding the season 41st overall. Midway through the year, he transitioned to MP Motorsport, competing in five out of six rounds of the 2018 F4 Spanish Championship, where he finished eleventh with a total of 47 points.
2019
In 2019, Tóth competed in Germany's 2019 ADAC Formula 4 Championship driving for R-ace GP. Despite several near-point finishes throughout the season, he scored championship points only once during the final round at Sachsenring, ending up 20th in the overall standings. Additionally, he took part in three rounds of the 2019 Italian F4 Championship but did not earn points. Later that year, representing Team Hungary, he achieved seventh place at the 2019 FIA Motorsport Games.
Formula Renault Eurocup
In February 2020, Hungarian driver László Tóth was signed by Bhaitech to compete in the final season of the Formula Renault Eurocup. In race two, he originally finished eighth but was elevated to seventh after Petr Ptáček received a penalty. Tóth secured two further points-scoring finishes and wrapped up the season ranked 16th overall.
2021
On 24 March 2021, Tóth joined Campos Racing for the FIA Formula 3 Championship under a one-year contract with an option to extend. At the opening round in Barcelona, his results were 27th, 23rd, and 26th across three races. Shortly before round two, he tested positive for COVID-19 and consequently missed that event’s races. Upon returning at Spielberg, Tóth recorded his best result of the year with a 19th-place finish in race one. During his home race weekend in Hungary, he was involved in a collision with Ido Cohen during the final race. After failing to score points in Belgium, he improved to 16th place in race two at Zandvoort—his top finish for the season. His campaign concluded at Sochi without breaking into the top twenty. He ended the championship ranked 32nd overall, ahead of only three drivers who participated part-time.
2022
Following the conclusion of the season, Tóth participated in a post-season test with Charouz Racing System held in Valencia. On 25 January 2022, the Czech outfit officially announced Tóth's continuation with the team for the 2022 FIA Formula 3 Championship. The driver expressed feeling "more at ease" as he embarked on his sophomore campaign. Despite this, his results worsened, with his highest race placement being 19th on three separate occasions, ultimately finishing 37th in the standings—the lowest ranking among drivers competing full-time.
2023
In 2023, Tóth transitioned into sportscar racing, signing with ARC Bratislava to compete in the LMP2 category of the 2023 Asian Le Mans Series. Alongside newcomer Nico Pino and team principal Miro Konôpka, their squad secured a best race result of seventh place within a nine-car grid, ending up at the bottom of the championship leaderboard.
2024
After taking a break during the summer of 2023, Tóth made his return in 2024 by joining Oregon Team to race in the 2024 Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe series.
