He moved to the European racing scene in 2018, driving for Carlin in the second half of the Euroformula Open Championship.[7] He finished in the top ten in four of eight occasions.

Sportscar career
In April 2019, it was announced that Gore would race with Strakka Racing in the Blancpain GT Endurance Cup.[12] He drove in the opening three races, which included a fifth place at Silverstone alongside Jack Hawksworth and Lewis Williamson.[13]
After a year out of racing, Gore entered the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters in 2021 when the series switched to a GT3 rule set, driving an Audi R8 LMS Evo for Team Rosberg.[14] Gore struggled throughout the year, scoring no points and qualifying no higher than 13th at Zolder.[15] Despite being the only main driver to go without points throughout the year, he remained with the team for the 2022 season.[16][17] Though qualifying still remained a weakness, Gore's results improved as he benefited from a timely pit stop during the safety car to rise up to the front at Imola, before going on to finish second.[18][19] He also scored fourth place in a chaotic race at the Hockenheimring, helping him to finish 17th in the standings.[20][21]
