Redox PrüstelGP (2019) Salač competed full time in the 2019 Moto3 World Championship alongside compatriot Jakub Kornfeil at Prüstel GP.
Salač scored points in seven races during the year, his season's best finishes being a ninth place in Rimini, and a fifth place in the season closing race in Valencia. He ended the season 23rd in the standings, with 32 points.

The 2021 Moto3 World Championship would see Salač ride for two teams. He started the season with the Rivacold Snipers outfit, scoring his first career podium in the category with a second place in Le Mans, and also earning his first pole position in Moto3 at the Sachsenring. He could not finish the race in Germany however, as technical issues forced him to retire. Salač was so upset with the team, having already retired in Doha and Barcelona in previous races, that following his German retirement, he asked for the termination of his contract with the team. He was replaced by Alberto Surra.
CarXpert Prüstel GP (2021) Following his decision to leave the Snipers team, and the sudden death of Jason Dupasquier in Italy freeing up a spot at Prüstel GP, the two parties agreed to a contract, and Salač would ride for Prüstel for the remaining nine races of the season. He finished in the points in the first three races, before crashing out in the next three, but ended the season well, with two tenth places in Misano and Portimão, before capping off the season with a fourth place in the season closer at Valencia. Salač finished 16th in the championship standings, with 71 points.
