Career

Macedo entered European karting in late 2021, appearing in two IAME series. He then completed a full year of European karting in 2022, a difficult season in which his best result was 23rd in the IAME Winter Cup championship. He also contested the Karting European Championship and the Karting World Championship that year. In 2023 he moved to senior karting and achieved a 22nd-place finish in the Karting European Championship and 34th in the Champions of the Future series.

For 2024, Macedo made his car racing debut in the Formula Winter Series with Drivex. His first round at Jerez yielded a best result of 29th, but he improved across the four rounds, securing a best result of 13th at the final round at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya and finishing 35th in the standings.

He then contested the full 2024 F4 Spanish Championship with Drivex. In the season opener at Jarama he finished tenth, his first points finish in car racing. He scored points only twice more, at Aragón and the Circuit Ricardo Tormo, accumulating nine points to place 21st in the championship, beating all but one of his Drivex teammates.

Macedo stepped up to the Eurocup-3 for 2025 with Campos Racing, having started the year in the Winter Championship. He finished 14th in the Eurocup-3 standings with one podium. In 2026 he competed in the Formula Regional Middle East Trophy with Van Amersfoort Racing and then remained with the team to race in the Formula Regional European Championship.
