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.

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 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.
