Randon, a native of Vicenza, has not publicly revealed the time when she and Luca Ghiotto started dating. However, her Instagram highlights include posts from various races she attended to support her partner, with the earliest being from 2021, at the Misano World Circuit.

Luca Ghiotto made a good early impression with DCR

Dale Coyne Racing initially signed Luca Ghiotto for two IndyCar races in 2024 at Barber Motorsports Park and the Indianapolis road course. He finished 21st and 25th in those events as one of five different drivers to drive the No. 51 car.

Team owner Dale Coyne explained why the team extended Ghiotto’s participation:

"Luca made a good impression on us in his first races with the team. He got up to speed quickly with no testing whatsoever before getting in the car, and he was a good addition to the team. We look forward to working with him again and having him back behind the wheel of our No. 51 car for the next two races," Dale Coyne was quoted as saying by IndyCar.

Ghiotto welcomed the opportunity and expressed his enthusiasm about continuing with the team.

"I’m very happy to be returning behind the wheel of the No. 51 Dale Coyne Racing entry for the next two races. I enjoyed my first two races in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and had a great time working with Jack (Harvey) and everyone at DCR. I look forward to working with them again and help the team continue to make progress over the next two races," he said.

Luca Ghiotto is expected to remain with the team in 2025, though no official announcement has been made.
