A three-time national karting champion in Peru, he switched to Formula 4 in 2020, learning in his first season in the British Championship with Carlin before switching to Argenti in 2021 and winning four races and finishing runner-up in the championship. During that time he also gained even more Formula 4 experience in several events in the United Arab Emirates series.

For 2022 he stepped up to the more powerful Formula Regional cars of the FR European Championship, impressing once again with his speed. He returned for 2023, also running in the Formula Regional Middle East Championship where he scored a podium.

He concluded 2023 with a run at the Macau Grand Prix for Jenzer Motorsport before joining them for 20204 and the FIA F3 Championship, where he took a podium at Silverstone during the British Grand Prix weekend.

He will return to the FIA F3 Championship in 2025 with DAMS and is hoping a successful run in the Castrol Toyota FR Oceania Championship will give him the winning edge.

“I am very happy that I’ll be racing in the Castrol Toyota Formula Regional Oceania Championship with M2 Competition,” he said on confirmation of his inclusion on the 2025 grid.

“It’s a championship with great history and I’m looking forward to adding my name to it. It’s going to be a fantastic experience with some great tracks and with a team like M2 we can achieve fantastic results together. I can’t wait to get started!”
