Carpe competed for the Laglisse Academy team, achieving four podium finishes and finishing third in the championship behind Ángel Piqueras and Luca Lunetta.

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.
