In 2007 he switched to the Formula 3 Euro Series , in which he competed for the French Signature Plus team. Mortara won one race each at Brands Hatch and at the Circuit de Catalunya . In the end, he finished eighth overall and was also the best newcomer.

He also took part in some Formula Renault 3.5 races and made guest starts in the Formula 3 Euro Series.

In 2010 Mortara did not get a cockpit in the GP2 series and decided to return to the Formula 3 Euro Series. He started again for the Signature racing team equipped with Volkswagen engines.
