Given his father's unprecedented success in Ferrari Challenge Asia-Pacific, Prette's career began in Asia with the Asian Formula Renault Series in 2016.[2] Having taken third in the championship the following year, he graduated to Asian Formula 3 where he finished ninth in the standings before moving into GT racing – returning to Europe and following in his father's footsteps by contesting the European Ferrari Challenge, winning the championship by 3 points.[3][4] He progressed to GT3 competition the following year, entering the International GT Open series with Vincent Abril.[5]

Outside of racing he is the Global Head of Retail for his grand mother Ariane's fashion company APM Monaco, based in Hong Kong.[6]
