Giltaire came fourth in the IAME Euro Series in the X30 Senior category, and came fifth in the CIK-FIA Karting European Championship.[4]
In 2023, Giltaire combined his French F4 Championship campaign winning year with karting and came third in the IAME Winter Cup in the X30 Senior class.[5] Throughout his karting career he also competed in various WSK events and in the contested the CIK-FIA Karting World Championship various times but had little success.[6][7]
Formula 4 (2023)
[edit]After being a finalist of the 2022 Richard Mille Young Talent Academy shootout, Giltaire made his single-seater debut in the 2023 French F4 Championship where he was instantly in the title fight with compatriot, Enzo Peugeot and Canadian 2022 FEED Racing winner, Kevin Foster. In his campaign he claimed 6 wins, 8 poles and 13 podiums and fought with Peugeot until the final race at Circuit Paul Ricard he pipped Peugeot to the title by four points.[8][9][10]
Formula Regional (2023–2025)
[edit]2023
[edit]After his title winning campaign, Giltaire would compete in the final two rounds of the 2023 Formula Regional European Championship with ART Grand Prix, as a guest driver. Giltaire would have a highest finish of 11th place, achieved at the second race of his debut round at Circuit Zandvoort. He would place third out of nine guest drivers in the championship standings.[5]
2024
[edit]
For 2024, Giltaire moved up to the 2024 Formula Regional European Championship full-time for ART Grand Prix.[11] He retired from the first race at the Hockenheimring, but won the second race, marking his maiden Formula Regional win. Seven rounds later after only a small handful of points finishes, he got his second and final podium of the year at the first race at the Red Bull Ring. Giltaire wouldn't get his next points finish until the penultimate race of his campaign at Monza Circuit with a fifth place. He came seventh in the drivers championship with 97 points.[11]
Giltaire competed in the 2024 Macau Grand Prix, again with ART.[12] He finished ninth in both qualifying and the qualifying race, but did not finish the main race due to an accident on lap 1.[13]

Giltaire remained with ART Grand Prix for 2025, contesting the Formula Regional Middle East Championship and the Formula Regional European Championship with the team.[14]
Giltaire clinched the Formula Regional Middle East Championship during race 2 at the Lusail International Circuit following a title battle with Freddie Slater.[15] He collected three wins, five pole positions, two fastest lap, eight podiums and 264 points during his title charge.
After finishing fifth in his sophomore campaign of FRECA, Giltaire recounted the season as "frustrating", and stated that he aimed to moved to Super Formula Lights in 2026.[16]
Super Formula Lights (2026)
