Ho remained in Spanish F4 for 2023, but switched to Campos Racing. Ho emerged as a contender early on, taking a double podium in Spa-Francorchamps. After a double pole the next round in Aragón, the win was taken away after a track limits penalty in the first race. However, he redeemed himself with a commanding win in Race 2, taking his maiden single-seater victory. Following that, Ho began a run of five podiums in a row starting from Jerez to Valencia, which included two poles. He then took his second win in the Valencia final race. He was at his best during the season finale in Barcelona, taking pole for all three races. Ho dominated during the races, proceeding to take all three wins. Ho finished the season as vice-champion, having taken five wins, seven poles and 291 points.

Eurocup-3

Ho was promoted to Eurocup-3 for 2024, remaining with Campos Racing. A poor start to the season saw him with only a fourth place in the first two rounds. However, he would claim his maiden wins in Portimão, although a suspension failure prevented a clean sweep. He took the standings lead with two poles, a win and a podium in Paul Ricard. However, despite two additional podiums in the next two rounds in Zandvoort and Aragón, title rival Javier Sagrera won thrice, leaving Ho losing the lead of the standings. Ho won the first race in Jerez and a fifth in the second race left him an outside chance for the title, trailing Sagrera by 26 points. However, Ho rebounded in the Barcelona finale with second in the first race and winning the second race. At that time, it meant Ho ended as vice-champion, losing out to Sagrera by two points. However three months later, following a review of results, Ho was awarded the win for the first Barcelona race after an illegal overtake off-track for original winner Emerson Fittipaldi Jr. This meant Ho gained seven points to be crowned champion, five points ahead of Sagrera.

FIA Formula 3
