[2][3] Her family has connections to motorcycle racing: her father Alfonso Carrasco acted as a mechanic for multi Spanish National Champion and 250cc World Championship rider José David de Gea.

She was educated at Secondary School Ies Vega del Argos and has combined her studies with her racing career and training.

[4] Carrasco played association football, basketball, swimming and tennis during her education years before she stopped partaking in all four sports aged 12 to focus on motorcycling.

[5] In September 2015, Carrasco enrolled at the Universidad Católica San Antonio de Murcia to study a law degree.

[7] Carrasco received early career advice from her father and de Gea though racing was initially her hobby.

[16] In November 2012, it was announced Carrasco would join JHK Laglisse on one of their KTM bikes for the 2013 Moto3 World Championship and was the first woman to take part in the category.

[18] Although she struggled to attain consistent good results in her rookie season, Carrasco claimed the first points finish for a woman in Moto3 when she came 15th at the Malaysian Grand Prix at the Sepang International Circuit.

It was the best finish for a female motorcycle rider in all categories since Tomoko Igata took seventh at the 1995 Czech Republic Grand Prix in the 125cc class.

[25] In fourteen rounds, Carrasco's best finish was twentieth at the Italian and German Grands Prix and was not classified in the Riders' Championship because she failed to score any points owing to a difficult handling bike.

[27][28][29] Carrasco was required to withdraw from the season-opening Qatar Grand Prix because doctors ruled she was not medically fit to compete after fracturing her right collarbone in a pre-season test session accident at the Circuto de Jerez the week before the race.

[26] She injured the top of the humerus in her left shoulder by colliding with María Herrera at the German Grand Prix and was rested for Indianapolis and Brno.

[32] Carrasco underwent surgery at Barcelona's Hospital Universitari Dexeus where she had a titanium plate inserted to repair the fracture.

[43] On 17 September, Carrasco was running in the top three and overtook two riders by slipstreaming them on the main straight of the Algarve International Circuit on the final lap to become the first woman to win an individual world championship motorcycle race.

[49] Carrasco's nearest rival and teammate Scott Deroue was ten points behind her entering the season-ending race at the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours.

[51] Before the 2019 season, Carrasco switched to Barcelona-based Provec Racing in conjunction with Kawasaki Motors Europe to again ride the Ninja 400 model.

She moved to Barcelona on 8 January to commence a physical training programme, which combined dirt bike and flat track racing with motocross testing.

[55] In early September 2020, she crashed during a test session at Estoril, Portugal, fracturing two thoracic vertebrae and was initially treated in a Lisbon hospital.

[61] Carrasco was announced as participating in the newly-formed FIM Women's Motorcycling World Championship in February 2024[62] and she established herself as a title contender, topping the two-day test, held at the Cremona racing circuit, Lombardy, Italy.

[64] Carrasco decided not to defend her WorldWCR crown in 2025, instead moving to the Supersport World Championship, riding for Honda France[65] in the WorldSSP Challenge.
