Career
Callejas began karting in 2014, competing until 2019.[1] During his karting career, Callejas most notably won the Micro class of the Spanish Rotax Series in 2015,[2] as well as finishing third in the Alevin standings of the Spanish Karting Championship.[3] In 2018, Callejas represented Spain in the Karting Academy Trophy, finishing ninth in points in his only season in the series.[4]
Moving up to cars in 2019, Callejas raced in the Copa Kobe de Circuitos, finishing ninth in points with a best result of fourth at Jarama.[5] The following year, Callejas moved to Chefo Sport to compete in Renault Clio Cup Spain and the CER D2 class of Campeonato de España de Resistencia.[6] In the former, Callejas won both races at Jerez and took three more podiums to secure third in points despite missing the finale.[7] In the latter, Callejas scored a lone win at Valencia and four other podiums to also finish third in points.[8] During 2020, Callejas also made a one-off appearance in TCR Ibérico for the same team at Jerez.[9]
Stepping up to TCR full time in 2021, Callejas joined Brutal Fish Racing Team to compete in TCR Europe.[10] In his first season in the series, Callejas scored his only podium of the season at Zandvoort,[11] as well as his only pole position at the Nürburgring en route to an 11th-place points finish,[12] as the rookie champion.[13] During 2021, Callejas also made select appearances in TCR Spain for Escudería Costa Daurada and Volcano Motorsport, scoring four podiums and finishing sixth in points.[14]
The following year, Callejas returned to Volcano Motorsport for a dual campaign in TCR Europe and TCR Spain.[15][16] In TCR Europe, Callejas became the series' youngest race winner at Spa, and scored points in all but one race he started to end the year fourth in points.[17] In TCR Spain, Callejas began the year by scoring four wins between the Jarama and Jerez rounds,[18][19] before taking further wins at Aragón and Navarra,[20][21] and ending the year with a triple win at Barcelona to clinch the series title.[22] During 2022, Callejas represented Spain in the FIA Motorsport Games Touring Car Cup,[23] in which he scored a silver medal in the main race.[24]
