Loïc Duval (Pronounced: i/lˈk dˈvæl/ LOH-eek DOO-val, born 12 June 1982) is a French professional racing driver. He is noted for being on the winning team of the 2013 24 Hours of Le Mans. He is currently competing in Formula E driving for Dragon Racing.

Career

Duval during free practice at the first Motegi round of the 2010 Formula Nippon season.

Born in Chartres, Duval began his career in karting and in 2002 was the Formula Campus France champion. In 2003 he was the Formula Renault 2000 France champion. In 2004 he placed eleventh with two podiums in the Formula 3 Euro Series and tested for Renault F1. The next year he finished sixth in F3 Euro Series and won a pole at the Macau Grand Prix. He then moved to Japan where he began racing in Formula Nippon and Super GT. In 2007 he continued in Formula Nippon and made two starts for A1 Team France in the A1 Grand Prix series in Australia and New Zealand. He won the 2009 Formula Nippon Championship with four wins driving for Nakajima Racing after finishing second in 2008.[1]

On 11 June 2014, the Le Mans Audi No. 1 driven by Duval was severely damaged, casting doubt whether it could be repaired for the race, or if Audi could build a new car in time, which would start from the back of the field. Duval was in reasonable condition, considering the magnitude of the accident.[2]

Formula E (2015-Present)

Loïc Duval made his Formula E debut at the 2015 Miami ePrix in March 2015, having missed the first four races of the inugural 2014-15 Formula E season. He replaced Oriol Servià and partnered Jerome d'Ambrosio at Dragon Racing, an American and former Indy team. Despite a slow start to his career, Duval achieved his first podium finish of the season with 3rd place at the 2015 Berlin ePrix with teammate d'Ambrosio winning the race resulting in Dragon Racing first double podium finish. Duval made second appearance to the podium at round two of the London ePrix in the season finale. Duval finished the season in 9th position with 42 points having raced in seven of the eleven championship rounds. Duval's contributions helped Dragon Racing finish 2nd in the Championship having spent the majority of the season outside the top five.

2015-16

Loïc Duval started the 2015-16 season off strongly having out qualified team mate d'Ambrosio in the opening two rounds. Duval finished fourth in Beijing, the first time he's outraced teammate d'Ambrosio. During the following round in Putrajaya, Duval crashed while fighting for a podium in the closing stages of the race. In Punta del Este, Duval qualified second on the front row alongside d'Ambrosio resulting in Dragon Racing's first front row lockout. He finished fourth, two tenths of a second behind his team mate in third.
