In the winter of 2017–2018 the Belgian competed in two rounds of the Formula 4 SEA Championship, where he won five races, which helped him to finish third in the drivers' championship.
The next year De Wilde continued racing in the now FIA-backed series. He won four races and became vice-champion, 66.5 points behind Caio Collet.

In 2020 De Wilde would move to Arden Motorsport for another season in the series. Despite three podium finishes De Wilde only managed to finish 9th in the standings.
