Grassotto finished as runner-up in the 1998 Formula Renault Campus Italy series and then moved up to FRenault 2000 for 2000. In the European-wide series he finished a competitive third in the final standings, and he also drove a handful of races in the Italian series, achieving one podium finish.

Grassotto graduated to German Formula Three in 2001, and finished 11th in the final drivers' standings.

[edit] Formula 3000

Grassoto spent 2002 and 2003 in the Euro Formula 3000 series, in which he was a frontrunner, before moving to the more competitive FIA-backed series for the final two races of 2004 as a replacement for compatriot Raffaele Giammaria. He scored a point for eighth place on his début but retired from the next race. Unable to get a drive in the new GP2 Series for 2005, he went back to country level and competed in one race in Italian F3000.
