Italian Formula Renault Championship in 2003; also competing in one race of the
Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0. For 2004 he stayed in the Italian series, but only finished twentieth in the drivers' championship in both this and the previous year.

Italian Formula Three Championship in 2004. Staying with the Lucidi Motors team throughout his time in this formula, he finished thirteenth overall in his first year and improved to third place in the standings in 2005. Following an unsuccessful foray into the

2006, Nocera returned to Italy for 2007 and won the F3 championship at his third attempt.
Formula 3000 In 2006, Nocera also drove in the
Euroseries 3000 for
Formula One driver

Adrián Vallés, who had himself been replaced at Fisichella's GP2 team by
Adam Carroll.
