Early career

Racing in karts from 2016 to 2019, Aguilera most notably won the 2019 Nacional Formula Karts title in the X30 Junior category and represented Mexico in that year's IAME International Final. ^{[4] [5]}

Stepping up to cars in 2021, Aguilera spent two years in the Ginetta Junior Championship for R Racing, where he scored a lone win at Thruxton in 2022. ^[6]

In early 2023, Aguilera joined RLR MSport to compete in the JS P4 class of the Ligier European Series, alongside Haytham Qarajouli. ^[7] On his series debut, Aguilera took his maiden podium, finishing third in race one at Barcelona and followed that up with another third-place finish at Paul Ricard, which helped him to end the season fourth in the standings. ^{[8] [9] [10]}

Endurance racing

Having made his LMP3 debut with RLR MSport at the 2024 Road to Le Mans where he scored a best result of ninth in race one, ^{[16] [17]} Aguilera stayed with the British team to race in the LMP3 class of the Asian Le Mans Series. ^[18] He took his first LMP3 win in race two at Dubai, ^[19] and at Abu Dhabi won race one and finished second in race two to end the season runner-up in points. ^[20]
