Career

Early career and karting

After losing his parents as a young boy, Woods-Toth was raised by his grandparents and developed his passion for motorsports from his grandfather, with whom he'd drive ATVs and snowmobiles for a number of years. ^[2] At the age of 14, Woods-Toth joined the Ron Fellows Karting Championship, and he would go onto win the 2022 edition of the championship alongside the Canadian Karting Championship and the Canadian Open Championship. ^[3] At the conclusion of 2022, Woods-Toth attended the Radford Racing School in Arizona thanks to the F4 US Scholarship Award, which he earned from his performances in Fellows' local karting championship. ^[4]

Formula 4 United States Championship

In 2023, Woods-Toth graduated to Formula 4 competition, competing in the Formula 4 United States Championship with Crosslink Kiwi Motorsport. ^[5] In his debut race, he claimed a podium finish, falling short to race-winner Carl Bennett. ^[6] During the second race meeting, at Road America, Woods-Toth claimed his first career F4 race victory. ^[7] He would claim three more over the course of the season, adding another during the Road America weekend ^[8] alongside one each at Mid-Ohio ^[9] and Circuit of the Americas. ^[10] Across the 18-race season, Woods-Toth stood on the podium 14 times, culminating in him earning the championship title at season's end. ^[11] Alongside his championship victory, Woods-Toth earned a scholarship to compete in the Formula Regional Americas Championship in 2024. ^[12]

Formula Regional Oceania Championship

In January 2024, Woods-Toth traveled to New Zealand to take part in the Formula Regional Oceania Championship, competing for his 2023 F4 team Kiwi Motorsport. ^{[13] [14]} Over the course of the 15-race season, he claimed four podium finishes and a season-high second during the reverse grid race at Highlands Motorsport Park, finishing third in the championship and claiming rookie of the year honors. ^[15]

Formula Regional Americas Championship

Following his 2023 Formula 4 title, Woods-Toth stepped up to the Formula Regional Americas Championship in 2024, joining Crosslink Kiwi Motorsport. ^[16] He claimed pole in his debut race at NOLA Motorsports Park, ^[17] before finishing runner-up in round one to Cole Kleck. In race two of the weekend, he claimed his first career FR Americas victory. ^[18] Later on in the season, Woods-Toth clinched the championship title after the second of three races at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, ^[19] in what was ultimately a three race sweep in his native country.

Personal life

Woods-Toth attended John Abbott College, pursuing a degree in engineering during his racing career. ^[20]
