Background
Keszthelyi began her career in karting, although after just two seasons she would progress to the Swift Cup Europe, obtaining special dispensation to race due to her age in 2014. She finished third in the Junior Class, and hence was retained for the 2015 season, finishing third overall, second in Juniors, and first in the Women's category. That earned her a spot in the Audi Sport Racing Academy in 2016, still aged just fifteen, withe manufacturer putting her into the the Central European Zone D4 2000-spec Championship with an Audi TT.

W Series History
Keszthelyi was one of the original 55 applicants to enter the 2019 Driver Selection Test, and duly progressed through the evaluation process to secure a seat on the reserve list. However, after missing out on the season opening Hockenheim Race, Keszthelyi would get her debut at Zolder, replacing an injured Emma Kimiläinen. Unfortunately for Keszthelyi her debut would not go too well, as a collision with Sabré Cook ended her race early.

Keszthelyi would fair better at Misano, battling into tenth for her first points finish after getting caught in a queue of drivers behind Sarah Moore. The following race in Nuremburg would not go so well, with Keszthelyi getting caught out by an accident between Moore and Shea Holbrook that dropped her down the field. Keszthelyi subsequently sat out the 2019 Assen Race, before returning to fight to fourteenth in the season finale at Brands Hatch.

The Hungarian racer would end the season with a single point and seventeenth in the Championship, meaning she missed out on an automatic qualifying spot for 2020. She would also miss out on a seat in the 2020 Driver Selection Test, although was considered as a reserve driver for the season.
