Career
Lower formulae
Gnos made his car racing debut in the 2018 Italian F4 Championship with AS Motorsport, where he raced in two rounds.[2] In 2019, he drove in both the Italian and Spanish F4 championships, for Jenzer Motorsport and G4 Racing respectively - the latter being founded by his father Patrick.[3][4][5] He had a successful campaign in the Spanish series, where he finished on the podium twice and ended his season sixth in the drivers' standings.
In 2020, Gnos once again competed in the Italian F4 Championship with G4 Racing, where he placed 23rd in the championship, having scored six points.
Toyota Racing Series
Gnos raced in the Toyota Racing Series for Kiwi Motorsport at the start of the 2020 season.[6] He scored 15 points and finished 18th in the standings, last of all full-time drivers.
Formula Regional European Championship
In February 2021, it was announced that Gnos would be competing in the Formula Regional European Championship with G4 Racing.[7] His season would ultimately prove to be fruitless, with Gnos scoring a best finish of 14th at Barcelona and finishing 28th in the standings.
For the 2022 season, Gnos remained with G4, this time partnering Matías Zagazeta and Owen Tangavelou.[8] Following a challenging campaign, during which the Swiss driver missed a round following a crash at Spa-Francorchamps,[9] Gnos confirmed that he would be leaving the team and the series after the end of the season, which he ended in 31st place.[10]
