Career

Formula 4

2018-19

Garfias' single-seater debut came in 2019, when he joined the final round of the NACAM Formula 4 Championship with Telcel RPL Racing. He scored points in all three races, finishing 15th in the standings.

2019-20

Garfias remained with Telcel RPL Racing for the 2019–20 season. He took his maiden win in the reverse-grid race two at the Autódromo Miguel E. Abed. Another win came at the Autódromo Yucatán, and one further victory in Monterrey saw him finish fourth overall in the standings.

GB3

For 2021, Garfias joined the GB3 Championship with Elite Motorsport. He took a best finish of fifth in race three at Silverstone, having taken the position from Frederick Lubin with his car partially on the grass. He withdrew from the series ahead of the second Silverstone round, finishing 17th in the standings.

Formula Regional

2021

Garfias made his Formula Regional debut later in 2021, joining Monolite Racing for three rounds of the 2021 Formula Regional European Championship. He failed to score points, taking a best result of 20th to finish 36th overall.

2024

In 2024, Garfias competed in the final three rounds of the pre-season Formula Regional Middle East Championship with Saintéloc Racing. He failed to score points during the appearance, finishing 27th in the standings.

Eurocup-3

2023

After a year away from racing due to lack of sponsors, Garfias joined MP Motorsport for the inaugural Eurocup-3 season. He took his maiden podium in Aragón after Bruno del Pino received a track limits penalty. After a string of consistent performances where he did not finish below sixth, he took four podiums in the final five races of the season, elevating him to fourth overall in the standings.

2024

Garfias returned to the series for 2024, switching teams to Saintéloc Racing for their first full campaign in the series. His season began with a sixth place in wet conditions at Spa. However, he struggled to maintain the consistency from his debut season; a fifth place in Portimão came after he made contact with teammate Alexander Abkhazava, and although he improved his best result to fourth at Paul Ricard, Garfias only scored four further points finishes. He left the series ahead of round seven and finished 10th in the standings with 52 points.

Euroformula Open

2024

Garfias competed in the final three rounds of the 2024 Euroformula Open Championship with Team Motopark. He quickly gained momentum in the series, taking two podiums out of three races in both Barcelona and Monza. He finished seventh in the standings with 99 points.

2025

In April 2025, Garfias was announced to be remaining with Team Motopark in Euroformula Open to contest the full season with them. He took his first podium of the season in race 3 at Spa-Francorchamps, despite a spin on the opening lap.

FIA Formula 3 Championship
