2021
Gray began his single-seater career in 2021, driving for Fortec Motorsport in the F4 British Championship. He had a solid season, taking his maiden wins in Thruxton Circuit. However, those were his only wins of the year, let alone standing on the podium. Despite missing a round, Gray placed seventh in the standings.
Gray also took part in two rounds of the Italian F4 Championship with BVM Racing. He had a best finish of 12th and placed 37th in the championship.
2022

For his main campaign, Gray switched to Carlin for his second F4 British season. The season was largely dominated by Alex Dunne, but Gray was able to notch up two wins at Croft Circuit and Silverstone. He did however, score 14 further podiums throughout the season, securing vice-champion following the conclusion of the season. He was also nominated for the Autosport BRDC Award.
FIA Formula 3 Championship
Gray was promoted to FIA Formula 3 for 2023, staying with Rodin Carlin. He had a disappointing season, failing to score points and having a best finish of 14th, which placed him 28th overall in the standings.

Gray was part of the Williams Driver Academy from 2022 to 2023.
