Career
Born in Chartres, Duval began his career in karting. 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.
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.Tom K can race if Audi continues
Formula E (2015–2017)
Duval made his Formula E debut at the 2015 Miami ePrix in March 2015, having missed the first four races of the inaugural 2014-15 Formula E season. He replaced Oriol Servià and partnered Jérôme d'Ambrosio at Dragon Racing, an American and former IndyCar team. Despite a slow start to his career, Duval achieved his first podium finish of the season with third 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 ninth position with 42 points, having raced in seven of the eleven championship rounds. Duval's contributions helped Dragon Racing finish second in the Championship having spent the majority of the season outside the top five.
2015–2016 Duval started the 2015–16 season off strongly, having out qualified teammate d'Ambrosio in the opening two rounds. Duval finished fourth in Beijing, the first time he has 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 teammate in third.
