Career

=Formula BMW=

Despite beginning his karting career in 2001, 2007 saw his debut in the Formula BMW ADAC championship with ADAC Berlin-Brandenburg. Mirocha finished 8th in the championship and third in the Rookie Cup{{cite news |url=https://www.press.bmw-motorsport.com/pressclub/p/pcmot/pressDetail.html?outputChannelId=2&id=T0003638EN&left_menu_item=node__400 |title=Formula BMW Germany – Races 17 + 18 – Hockenheim, 12–14.10.2007 |work=BMW Motorsport |publisher=BMW |date=2007-10-15 |accessdate=2009-12-09}} with one podium at EuroSpeedway Lausitz.{{cite news|url=http://www.adac-motorsport.de/ergebnisse/automobil/formelbmwdeutschland/2005200714283988122.pdf |title=EuroSpeedway Lausitz Race 2 |date=2007-05-20 |work=adac-motorsport.de |publisher=ADAC |language=German |accessdate=2009-12-09 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110718194103/http://www.adac-motorsport.de/ergebnisse/automobil/formelbmwdeutschland/2005200714283988122.pdf |archivedate=18 July 2011 }}

=Formula Three=

In 2008, Mirocha stepped up to the ATS Formel 3 Cup with Josef Kaufmann Racing. He finished sixth in the standings after taking four podium places. Mirocha moved to HBR Motorsport and the Formula 3 Euro Series in 2009{{cite news|url=http://www.gpupdate.net/en/f3-news/207337/mirocha-and-cecotto-join-hbr-motorsport/|title=Mirocha and Cecotto join HBR Motorsport|date=2009-02-24|work=gpupdate.net|publisher=GPUpdate|accessdate=2011-01-30}} but left the series pointless, after failing to start either race at the Zandvoort round.

=Formula Renault=

Mirocha competed in seven of the twenty races that comprised the 2010 Formula Renault 2.0 NEC season for the SL Formula Racing team, winning the final race of the season at the Nürburgring. He finished ninth in the championship, the third best-placed driver who did not contest all the rounds of the championship.

=GP2 Series=

Mirocha moved up to the GP2 Series with the Ocean Racing Technology team for 2011, driving alongside Johnny Cecotto Jr. He did not start either race at Silverstone after injuring his left shoulder.{{cite news|title=GP2: Ocean Racing Silverstone Event Summary|work=motorsport.com|url=http://www.motorsport.com/#/gp2/news/gp2-ocean-racing-silverstone-event-summary/|date=2011-07-10|accessdate=2011-07-11}} After fourteen races, he was replaced by Brendon Hartley.{{cite news|last=O'Leary|first=Jamie|title=Brendon Hartley makes GP2 return with Ocean at Spa|publisher=Haymarket Publications|work=autosport.com|url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/93923|date=2011-08-25|accessdate=2011-08-29}} Despite this, he finished the season 22nd in the drivers' championship, the highest-placed of those not to score any points.

=FIA Formula 2=

In 2012 Mirocha competed in FIA Formula 2.{{cite web|url=http://www.formulatwo.com/drivers/2012-drivers.aspx |title=2012 Driver Line up – F2 2013 Championship |accessdate=25 July 2013 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130710070802/http://www.formulatwo.com/drivers/2012-drivers.aspx |archivedate=10 July 2013 }} He had a strong rookie season and took his maiden Formula 2 victory at Brands Hatch.{{cite web|url=http://www.formulatwo.com/results/2012-results/brands-hatch.aspx |title=Brands Hatch – F2 2013 Championship |accessdate=25 July 2013 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130808045340/http://formulatwo.com/results/2012-results/brands-hatch.aspx |archivedate=8 August 2013 }}
