[10][11] The following year, Sharp drove in the Yokohama South Island Formula Ford Series, getting five wins, ten podiums and two pole positions.
[12] Sharp did not participate in the first round of the season at Donington Park due to still being 14 years old,[14] with the age limit of most Formula 4 series being set at 15.
Sharp made his debut in the 2023 Formula 4 UAE Championship for the Trophy Rounds only, which took place in late 2022 and served as a support race for the 2022 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
[20][21] He returned to the F4 British Championship in 2023, rejoining the newly rebranded Rodin Carlin team in hopes of winning the title, and was teammates with Australian Noah Lisle and Brit Josh Irfan.
He led the championship coming into the final round at Brands Hatch, with his closest rivals being Briton John Bennett and Pole Tymek Kucharczyk.
Sharp joined Rodin Carlin for the final post-season test of the 2023 FIA Formula 3 Championship at Imola.
[37][38] Shortly after clinching the GB3 title, Sharp was announced to be promoted to FIA Formula 3 for the 2025 season, continuing with Rodin Motorsport.
