Hart began his single-seater career in 2018, racing in the Brands Hatch round of the Reprise IT Tiedeman Trophy for Leastone Racing Team,[1] as well as winning the Irish Formula Vee Star of Tomorrow Championship.[2] Remaining with the team for the following year's Monoposto Championship,[3] Hart took wins at Castle Combe and Silverstone as he ended the year runner-up in the Mono 1000 standings.[4] After being nominated as a Motorsport Ireland Young Racing Driver of the Year,[5] Hart made his Formula 4 debut in the final Sepang round of the Formula 4 South East Asia Championship,[6] taking a best result of third in race three.[7]

Switching to TCR competition for 2020, Hart joined Maximum Motorsport to race in the Touring Car Trophy,[8] Hart won the finale at Donington Park and finished third in the other six races en route to a third-place points finish.[9][10] Continuing with Maximum Motorsport for the following year,[11] Hart won the season-opening race at Silverstone and took six more podiums to end the year fourth in points.[12] In 2022, Hart remained in the newly-rebanded TCR UK Touring Car Championship as he switched to JamSport Racing for his third season in TCR competition.[13] Hart won both races at Donington Park and finished second in both Oulton Park races,[14] and ended the year eighth in points despite parting ways with the team ahead of the Snetterton finale.[15]

Transitioning to TCR China and Hyundai N Team Z.Speed for the following year,[16] took his only win of the season in Macau and a podium at Shanghai to round out the year sixth in points.[17] Remaining with the same team to race in TCR Asia for 2024,[18] Hart began the year by qualifying on pole for the season opener at Sepang, in which he finished second, before ending the weekend with his first win of the season in race two.[19] After four consecutive podiums, Hart took his second and final win of the year in race one of the second Buriram round, which helped him end the year third in points.[20] During 2024, Hart also made his TCR World Tour debut at Macau, a round which was held in conjunction with TCR Asia.[21]

Returning to Europe for 2025, Hart joined Target Competition for his rookie year in TCR Europe.[22][23] In the six-round season, Hart took a lone win at Hockenheimring from third on the grid,[24] as well as finishing second in race two and taking a third-place finish in race two at the Red Bull Ring,[25] as he ended the season eighth in points.[26] At the end of the year, Hart made a one-off appearance in the TCR World Tour for SP Competition at Macau.[27]

The following year, Hart joined ALM Motorsport to continue in TCR Europe,[28] as well as joining Hall Racing to return to TCR UK competition.[29]
