Unlike many drivers who start out in karting, Lauda debuted in 2002 in Formula Nissan 2000. He also drove in two races of German Formula Volkswagen and one race of Spanish Formula Three. He moved to World Series Light in 2003 with the Vergani team, again moving in 2004 to the Euro 2000 Series.
Later in 2004 he drove in Formula 3000, completing the full season with the Coloni Motorsport team
Lauda raced in the 2005 GP2 Series for the Coloni team, alongside former Formula One driver Gianmaria Bruni. He was one of only a few competitors in that initial GP2 season who had a full season of F3000 experience behind them.
He also represented First Rate (at Lloyd's) Team Austria in the 2005-2006 First Rate (at Lloyd's) Grand Prix season. From 2006 he has competed in the German-based Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters series with Mercedes-Benz.
