She currently competes in the US in the IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship and counts Colombian singer and songwriter KaRoL G, one of the most influential reggaeton and urban pop artists, among her sponsors.

From a young age, Calderón displayed her talent, winning three national karting titles and becoming the first female champion in an American karting series. Her career progressed rapidly as she transitioned to cars, securing podium finishes in her debut season in the Radical European Masters Series.

Calderón's ambition led her to single-seater racing, where she achieved numerous milestones as a pioneer for female inclusion.

In World Series Formula V8 3.5, Calderón scored a podium finish, and she broke barriers as the first female driver in FIA Formula 2. In 2018, Calderón made history as the first Latin-American woman to drive a Formula One car when she joined the Alfa Romeo Formula One Team as a Test Driver. She also represented the DS Techeetah Formula E Team.

Alongside her single-seater endeavors, Calderón embraced endurance racing, competing in the European Le Mans Series and making her debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Expanding her horizons in 2022, she made her NTT IndyCar Series debut with the AJ Foyt Racing Team. She returned to sports cars, joining Team Virage in the LMP2 class, for the 2023 European Le Mans Series.

Calderón is an advocate for women in motorsport, often speaking about the need for more opportunities for women in all aspects of racing, from drivers to engineers. She serves as an inspiration to many young girls who aspire to break into the sport, showing that with talent, hard work, and perseverance, it is possible to overcome the many barriers that exist in motorsport.
