Career Karting (2016–2025) Aksoy began karting competitively at the age of five, competing until 2025. Starting off by racing in Turkey and the UAE, Aksoy made his debut in European karting in 2018 by racing in Rotax Max Challenge Central Europe, in which he scored a win at the Speedworld Circuit in Austria, becoming the first Turkish driver to win in the series. The same year, Aksoy won the Turkish Winter Cup in the Mini class and finished runner-up in the main championship.

Moving to international races for 2019, Aksoy joined Baby Race Driver Academy to race in mini karts for the following three years, taking a best result of sixth in the 2021 Andrea Margutti Trophy with the team. Stepping up to junior karting for 2022, Aksoy joined Tony Kart Racing Team as a factory driver for the next season. Racing in the OK-J class, Aksoy most notably finished runner-up in the 2023 Trofeo Delle Industrie and represented Turkey in the 2022 FIA Motorsport Games Karting Sprint Junior discipline.

In 2024, Aksoy made the jump to senior karting, a year in which he drove for Parolin Motorsport and Fusion Motorsport, scoring a best result of eighth in the WSK Euro Series' standings. Remaining in the OK class for 2025, Aksoy switched Prema Racing for most of the year, before briefly returning to Fusion Motorsport for the WSK Euro Series and finishing fourth in points.

Formula 4 (2025–) 2025 After testing Formula 4 machinery with Prema Racing during 2025, Aksoy joined Prema-operated Mumbai Falcons Racing Limited to race in Formula Trophy. Despite winning on debut at Dubai, Aksoy was stripped of his race one win after jumping the start, but bounced back to win race three to exit the round second in points. After finishing third and eighth in the following round at Abu Dhabi, he finished second in race one and won the season finale at the same venue to secure the Formula Trophy title by 27 points over Niccolò Maccagnani.
