After a year in OK Junior karts, he was the vice-champion in the 2019 German Junior Kart Championship with Ricky Flynn Motorsport.[4] He became runner-up to Kajus Siksnelis during the 2019 Karting Academy Trophy.[5] During that year he also took part in the 2019 Karting World Championship, in which he ranked 11th.[6] In 2020, he finished third in the WSK Champions Cup in the OK Junior category. He also took third place in the IAME Asia Cup, in the senior category.
In September 2021, Ho became the latest signing to Nicolas Todt’s All Road Management stable.[2]

Ho made his single-seater debut in the 2022 Formula 4 UAE Championship with MP Motorsport during the third weekend of the series, in preparation for his upcoming main campaign.[7] He finished tenth in his first race and two races later, in fifth.
