Career

Early career

Carpe made his JuniorGP debut in 2022 with the STV-MT Helmets-MSI team on a KTM bike. Due to his underage status, he was unable to compete in the first three races of the championship. He finished 31st without scoring any points.
By 2023, Carpe had become one of the top JuniorGP riders. Carpe competed for the Laglisse Academy team, achieving four podium finishes and finishing third in the championship behind Ángel Piqueras and Luca Lunetta. He also made his Red Bull Rookies Cup debut that same year, finishing runner-up with two wins behind Piqueras.
In 2024, Carpe competed in both championships as one of the favorites after his results the previous year, and did not disappoint by winning both championships. He had won three races in the JuniorGP and four in the Red Bull Rookies Cup. In addition, that same year he debuted in Grand Prix motorcycle racing in the Moto3 category with a wildcard in the Solidarity Grand Prix held in Barcelona.
