He previously competed in the FIA Formula 3 Championship in 2023 and 2024 with Van Amersfoort Racing.

Career

New Zealand Formula Ford The first single-seater series in which Smith competed was the 2017–18 New Zealand Formula Ford Championship. He had a best finish of third place at Teretonga Park.

F3 Asian Championship

Smith's first year in the F3 Asian Championship was in 2019. Driving for Pinnacle Motorsport, he had a best finish of eighth place at the final race in Shanghai. This, along with five more points-scoring results, put him twelfth in the championship. For the 2019–20 season, Smith joined Absolute Racing, teaming up with the inaugural W Series champion Jamie Chadwick and FIA F3 driver Devlin DeFrancesco. Smith ended the season in tenth place with 48 points, 218 points behind champion Joey Alders. His highest-scoring round came at the Chang International Circuit, where he placed sixth in Races 1 and 3 and ninth in Race 2.

Formula Renault Eurocup In 2020, it was announced that Smith would race in Formula Renault Eurocup for the Italian team JD Motorsport alongside Finnish driver William Alatalo. However, due to the impact of COVID-19, Smith was not able to compete.

Formula Regional European Championship

In 2021, Smith contested the newly formed Formula Regional European Championship with JD Motorsport alongside Eduardo Barrichello. Both Smith and Barrichello failed to amass points throughout the twenty-race-long campaign, with Smith ending up 31st in the standings. Of note, a multi-car incident on the first lap of Race 2 at Monaco resulted in Smith flipping the car of Nicola Marinangeli.

GB3 Championship

2021 During the second half of 2021, Smith moved into the GB3 Championship, which he would contest with Douglas Motorsport. In the three rounds he contested, he scored a best finish of twelfth, at Snetterton and Silverstone respectively, which meant a 22nd place in the drivers' standings.

2022

Smith remained in the category for the 2022 season, once again driving for Douglas Motorsport alongside Max Esterson and Marcos Flack. At the first round of the campaign, held at Oulton, Smith took a second place in the reversed-grid Race 3, having defended against David Morales throughout the final laps.

Following three rounds that yielded two top-five results, Smith found himself finishing second again at Spa-Francorchamps, which, following the application of a red flag rule, which reinstated the results from the lap before the Race 3 had been abandoned, meant that the Australian was awarded with the victory. This would end up being the pinnacle of Smith's season, with him scoring only one top-ten finish in the final three events.

FIA Formula 3 2023

For 2023, Smith moved to the FIA Formula 3 Championship, driving for Van Amersfoort Racing. He finished 27th in the standings with no points, having a best finish of twelfth in the Feature race at Melbourne, starting from 27th.

2024 Smith driving for Van Amersfoort Racing during the 2024 Silverstone Formula 3 round. Smith remained at Van Amersfoort for the 2024 season. During the season, Smith regularly qualified outside of the top-twenty, with the only exception coming at Monaco where he qualified nineteenth. He also got involved in several incidents during the year, including a collision with Matías Zagazeta in the Sakhir sprint race, outbraking himself and spinning Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak at Melbourne, and spinning around Mari Boya at Imola. However, Smith also scored his first points in the category during the Silverstone feature race, correctly switching to dry tyres on a wet but drying track to rise to fourth once his competitors pitted for dry tyres during the race.

Formula Regional Oceania Championship 2024

Smith competed in three of the five Rounds in the 2024 Formula Regional Oceania Championship with MTEC Motorsports in preparation of his 2024 racing season. He scored two podiums, finishing eighth overall having missed six races, gaining two FIA Super Licence Points.

2025 Smith returned to the Formula Regional Oceania Championship, competing in the first two rounds for Giles Motorsport.
