Luca Ghiotto (born 24 February 1995) is an Italian motorsport competitor currently participating in the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans and 2025 European Le Mans Series events with Inter Europol Competition. Additionally, he took part in selected rounds of the 2024 IndyCar Series representing Dale Coyne Racing.

Karting

Originating from Arzignano, Ghiotto began his karting career in 2008, capturing the title in the KF3 category of the Champions Cup and securing fourth place the following year. He maintained his involvement in KF3 competitions through to 2010.

Formula Abarth

In 2011, Ghiotto made his entrance into single-seater racing with Prema Powerteam in the Formula Abarth championship. He achieved ninth place in the Italian Series, highlighted by a podium finish at Misano, and attained sixth overall in the European Series with four podium appearances. The subsequent year, continuing under Prema’s banner, he elevated his performance to claim runner-up positions in both championships.

Formula Renault

Ghiotto stayed with Prema as they transitioned to the 2-litre Formula Renault category, competing in the concluding rounds of both the Formula Renault 2.0 Alps and Formula Renault 2.0 NEC series at the end of 2012. Throughout 2013, he contested full seasons in both the Alps and the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0, earning a podium at Le Castellet, securing victory at Spa, and finishing ninth overall in the Eurocup standings. In the Alps championship, Ghiotto won five races and finished as runner-up to teammate Antonio Fuoco. He also triumphed in the main event of the Formula Renault 2.0 Pau Trophy.

Progressing further, Ghiotto entered the Formula Renault 3.5 Series in 2014, competing for International Draco Racing.

2014

Ghiotto made his GP3 debut during the 2014 season with Trident at Spa-Francorchamps, where he claimed pole position on his first outing but did not score points across four races.

2015

He remained with Trident for the 2015 campaign, achieving five race wins but ultimately falling short of the championship by eight points to Esteban Ocon.

GP2 Series

In February 2016, Ghiotto advanced to compete in the GP2 Series, continuing his partnership with Trident. Despite a slow start to the season, he secured a sprint race victory at Sepang and concluded the year eighth in the overall standings.

2017

For the 2017 season, Ghiotto signed with Russian Time, where he earned one race win and finished fourth in the championship rankings. Although he initially won both races at Monza, his feature race victory was revoked due to track limits infringements; that win was subsequently awarded to fellow Italian driver Antonio Fuoco.

2018

Competing for Campos Racing alongside Israeli teammate Roy Nissany during 2018, Ghiotto achieved four podium finishes and ended the season eighth in points.

2019

Ghiotto transferred to Virtuosi Racing for the 2019 season, partnering with Chinese driver Guanyu Zhou. He started strongly by securing pole position, a second-place finish, and a victory at Bahrain. Despite challenges including a disqualification at Monaco and penalties resulting from collisions, he accumulated several podiums throughout the year. Notable successes included wins at both Silverstone and Abu Dhabi, culminating in a third-place overall finish behind champion Nyck de Vries and runner-up Nicholas Latifi. The season was overshadowed by tragedy at Spa-Francorchamps when races were canceled following a fatal accident involving driver Anthoine Hubert.

2020

During the 2020 season, Ghiotto competed for the newly established Hitech Grand Prix team, partnering with Nikita Mazepin. He secured victory in the sprint race at the Budapest event and concluded the year tenth in the championship standings, trailing Mazepin by five places. At the conclusion of this season, Ghiotto exited Formula 2.

2022

Ghiotto made a singular comeback to the 2022 Formula 2 Championship at the Monza round, stepping in for Roy Nissany who was sidelined due to a race suspension.

Formula One

In August 2017, Ghiotto took part in testing with Williams Martini Racing following the Hungarian Grand Prix.

Formula E

In April 2023, Ghiotto joined the Nissan Formula E Team to participate in the rookie test held at the Berlin track and was subsequently appointed as the team's simulator driver. Additionally, he drove during rookie practice sessions at the Rome ePrix and attended the rookie pre-season testing for the 2023–24 season.

Dale Coyne Racing (2024)

In April 2024, Ghiotto inked a deal to compete in two races with Dale Coyne Racing in collaboration with Rick Ware Racing, targeting events at Barber Motorsports Park and on the road course at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
