Italian
Luca Ghiotto (born 24 February 1995, Arzignano) is an Italian racing driver who became one of the most prolific race winners of the GP2/Formula 2 era without ever quite landing the title.
Junior career
Ghiotto made his single-seater breakthrough in the GP3 Series with Trident, finishing runner-up in the 2015 championship with five wins, beaten to the crown by Esteban Ocon. He stepped up to GP2 with Trident in 2016, taking a victory at Sepang and finishing eighth overall.
Formula 2
When GP2 became the FIA Formula 2 Championship in 2017, Ghiotto joined RUSSIAN TIME alongside Artem Markelov, winning the Monza sprint race and finishing fourth in the standings. He moved to Campos Racing for 2018, scoring four podiums on his way to eighth. His strongest campaign came in 2019 with UNI-Virtuosi Racing (the reformed RUSSIAN TIME outfit) alongside Guanyu Zhou: four wins and third place in the championship behind Nyck de Vries and Nicholas Latifi. He stayed in F2 in 2020 with Hitech Grand Prix as teammate to Nikita Mazepin, winning the Budapest sprint race. In 2022 he made a one-off return at Monza with DAMS, deputising during Roy Nissany's race ban. Across his F2 tenure he amassed multiple feature- and sprint-race victories, marking him as a genuine front-runner of the category.
After F2/F3
Ghiotto moved into endurance racing, competing in LMP2 machinery in the European Le Mans Series and at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with Inter Europol Competition.
