He finished the season ninth overall, scoring two podiums at the Hungaroring and winning the sprint race at the Mugello Circuit round. Vișoiu did not take part in the Misano or Imola rounds, owing to clashes with the Silverstone and Spa-Francorchamps rounds of the GP3 Series season.

Originally intending to leave motorsport to focus on his education, it was announced that Vișoiu would partake in the 2015 season, racing with Rapax. There he finished seventeenth overall, in sharp contrast to his third placed teammate Sergey Sirotkin.

FIA Formula 2

After a year out of motorsport in 2016, Vișoiu was signed to Campos Racing from the Monaco round of the 2017 season onwards. However Vișoiu departed the series and all forms of motorsport before the Jerez round, calling time on his racing career and subsequently being replaced by Álex Palou.
