At the age of five, Deligny started karting at the track located inside the Shanghai International Circuit. He won his first race at age 6, the Rotax Max Asia in Shanghai on a SodiKart chassis. Having moved to Los Angeles in 2015, the Frenchman began to race in American championships, winning the Challenge of the Americas and the SKUSA Spring Nationals four years after the fact, as well as finishing second in the SKUSA SuperNationals in the Mini category.[4] In 2020, Deligny switched over to the European karting scene, managing to end up as the runner-up in the ROK Cup International Final.[5]
In 2021, Deligny started racing for the Parolin Motorsport team, competing in various European series in the OK Junior category, which included the CIK-FIA European Championship.[6] The following year, Deligny remained with Parolin, this time progressing to the OK Senior class. This move yielded immediate success, as the Frenchman would take his first victory at age 13 (one of the 3 drivers to ever win a race in senior at 13) at the final round of the WSK Super Master Series.[7] From there, he would impress further, winning races in the WSK Euro Series, finishing second overall,[8][9] and taking a podium at Zuera in the European Championship, as well as qualifying in third for the season finale at Franciacorta,[10][11] where he would end up fourth in the standings.[12][13][14] Speaking about his final year in karting, Deligny described it as having been "positive", whilst conceding that he "could have been better".[15]
