In 2003 Moraes competed in American Formula Renault with World Speed Motorsports and won races against some pretty steep competition such as Marco Andretti.

He finished in 14th place in the 2007 British Formula Three championship's Championship Class, again competing for Carlin. He has made a significant leap to the newly unified IndyCar Series in 2008 driving for former Champ Car team Dale Coyne Racing. He finished 21st in points with a best finish of 7th at Watkins Glen International.
