Luca Ghiotto (born 24 February 1995) is an Italian racing driver who competes in the European Le Mans Series for Inter Europol Competition.
Born in Arzignano, Ghiotto entered karting in 2008, when he took the title in the KF3 class of the Champions Cup,[1] before he finished fourth the following year.
In 2011, Ghiotto made his début in single-seaters, taking part in the Formula Abarth series for Prema Powerteam.
He remained with Trident for 2015, taking five victories in the season, but losing the title to Esteban Ocon by eight points.
After a shaky start to the season, he claimed his first victory at the sprint race in Sepang and finished eighth in the overall standings.
The Italian once again took pole position at Spain, but was hit by Campos driver Dorian Boccolacci, who was later penalized with a drive-through penalty.
In Great Britain, he qualified 2nd behind his teammate Guanyu Zhou, who also made history with achieving the first pole position of a Chinese driver in GP2 or F2.
In Spa-Francorchamps, the two races were cancelled after a tragic accident in the feature race, after Giuliano Alesi lost control of his car due to a puncture, which provoked an accident, that resulted in serious injures for Juan Manuel Correa, and the death of French driver Anthoine Hubert.
Due to the retirements of Artem Markelov, Sean Gelael and contact between Nikita Mazepin and Matevos Isaakyan, there were three virtual safety cars.
The Italian driver finished third in the championship, just behind champion Nyck de Vries and runner-up Nicholas Latifi.
He won the sprint race in Budapest and ended up tenth in the standings, five positions behind his Russian teammate.
