Arthur Pic (born 5 October 1991 in Montélimar) is a French racing driver currently competing in the GP2 Series with Italian outfit Rapax. Pic also holds the track record at Motorland, Aragon in Spain.
Like most top-line drivers, Pic began his racing career in karting, contesting the 2005 French Junior Championship whilst also taking a third-place finish at the Bridgestone Cup and runner-up spot in Spain's Champions Cup at El Vendrell. The following season he claimed fourth in the French Championship before turning his attention to single-seater competition.
In 2007 15-year-old Pic began his graduation to single-seater racing by running a limited schedule in the Formula Renault 1.6 Belgium series. The following year he stepped up to new-for-2008 Formul'Academy Euro Series which he won comfortably at the first attempt, taking nine podium finishes from fourteen races.
Next Pic competed in both the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 and Formula Renault 2.0 West European Cup championships for SG Formula. He finished tenth in the ultra-competitive Eurocup series, taking nine points-scoring positions in fourteen races, and sixth place in the West European Cup where he managed two podiums and ended the campaign as the highest placed rookie driver.
Remaining in the Eurocup for the 2010 season, Pic switched to Tech 1 Racing. and scored an impressive seven pole positions, four fastest laps and four race wins on his way to third in the standings.
It was announced on 3 January 2011 that Pic would drive for Tech 1 Racing in the Formula Renault 3.5 Series alongside Kevin Korjus. After a learning year in which he showed flashes of genuine pace and recorded 12 championship points, he switched to the illustrious DAMS squad for 2012 to lead the team's maiden Formula Renault 3.5 campaign. Pic immediately proved rapid, taking pole position for the opening two races and scoring enough points to remain amongst the championship contenders at half-distance. He recorded his maiden race victory in the championship's trip to Russia, emerging from the weekend as the highest scoring driver with a total of 37 points. But a difficult end to the year would prove his undoing and ultimately leave Pic eighth in the final standings.
