Mainly racing in Mexico, he won the 2020 and 2022 RMC Mexico titles in Micro Swift and Junior Max,[1][2] and finished third in the 2022 Mexican SKUSA championship in the X30 Junior class.[3] Herrera then mainly raced in Europe in 2023,[4] before going back to America for the end of the year, where he finished 11th in the SKUSA SuperNationals and continued karting until 2024.[5][6]
After testing Formula 4 machinery in late 2024, Herrera made his single-seater debut for Jenzer Motorsport in the final round of the 2025 Formula Winter Series at Barcelona.[7] Despite qualifying ninth in wet conditions on debut,[8] Herrera scored a best result of 19th among the three races, doing so in race two.[9] Continuing with the Swiss team for the rest of the year, Herrera joined the Formula 4 CEZ Championship,[10] in which he scored two fifth-place finishes in the season-opening Red Bull Ring round.[11] After finishing no higher than eighth at the same venue a month later,[12] Herrera finished fourth in race one at the Salzburgring to enter the second half of the year eighth in points.[13] In the following round at Most, Herrera scored his first win of the season during race three after overtaking two drivers during a safety car restart.[14] After then finishing second in race three at the Slovakia Ring,[15] Herrera won races one and two during the Brno Circuit round after starting on pole position for both races.[16] He finished the season in third with 189 points.[16]
During 2025, Herrera also partook in the Monza and Imola rounds of the Italian F4 Championship,[17] in which he scored a best result of tenth in race three at Monza, having started 23rd.[18] Herrera also made a one-off appearance in the Mugello round of the E4 Championship for AKM Motorsport,[19] in which he scored a best result of 19th in race one.[20]
