On November 30, 2021, it was announced that Papasavvas would make his debut in single seaters in the 2022 U.S. F2000 National Championship driving for Jay Howard Driver Development.

2023

In late 2022, it was announced that Papasavvas would race in the 2023 USF2000 Championship once again with Jay Howard Driver Development. He would receive his maiden podium in the series at the first race held at St. Petersburg.
At Mid-Ohio, Papasavvas would qualify on pole by over two tenths of a second over championship leader Simon Sikes. However, since he missed the checkered flag and completed an extra lap before returning to the pit lane, he would receive a two-place grid penalty which resulted in a third place starting spot behind Sikes and Ethan Ho. Papasavvas managed to pass Ho into the first corner and got the lead from Sikes at turn four on lap one. On the last lap of the race, Sikes fought with Papasavvas for the lead out of turn four, however Sikes went wide into turn five which allowed Papasavvas to retake the lead into turn six. Papasavvas would hold on to grab his first win in the championship at his hometown track.
