Karting

Pic initiated his motorsport journey in karting, achieving third place in the Bridgestone Cup and finishing second in Spain's Champions Cup at El Vendrell in 2005. The following year, he secured fourth position in the French Junior Championship before transitioning to single-seater racing.

Formula Renault 2.0 Series (2009-2010)

In 2007, Pic made his debut in single-seater racing with a partial campaign in Formula Renault 1.6 Belgium. He then claimed the title in the 2008 Formul'Academy Euro Series, standing on the podium nine times across fourteen events.

During 2009, Pic raced for SG Formula in both the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 and Formula Renault 2.0 West European Cup. He ended the Eurocup season tenth with nine points-scoring finishes and ranked sixth in the West European Cup, achieving two podiums and earning top rookie honors.

For the 2010 season, Pic joined Tech 1 Racing in the Eurocup, where he earned seven pole positions, four fastest laps, and four victories, culminating in a third-place overall finish.

Formula Renault 3.5 Series (2011-2013)

On 3 January 2011, Pic signed with Tech 1 Racing to compete in the 2011 Formula Renault 3.5 Series season, partnering with Kevin Korjus. After a developmental year scoring twelve points, he switched to DAMS in 2012 to spearhead their inaugural campaign. Demonstrating strong speed early on, he secured pole position for the first two rounds and won the race in Russia, finishing eighth overall despite difficulties towards the end of the season.

In 2013, Pic joined the newly formed Spanish outfit AV Formula. Although he struggled during qualifying at Monza, he executed twenty-eight overtakes over two races, finishing sixth and fourth respectively. He achieved AV Formula's maiden podium by placing third at Motorland Aragon and concluded the year eighth in the standings with nine points finishes.

MRF Challenge (2013)

During the off-season of 2013, Pic took part in the MRF Challenge supported by Renault. He won the opening race held alongside the Indian Grand Prix and repeated victory in Bahrain, accumulating seven podium finishes over three race weekends.

GP2 Series (2014-2016)

In January 2014, Pic signed with Campos Racing for participation in the GP2 Series. He secured his first GP2 victory and podium at the Hungaroring, followed by additional podium placements at Monza and Yas Marina. Remaining with Campos for the 2015 season, he finished eleventh overall—four positions lower than his previous year’s result. In 2016, Pic transferred to Rapax Team.

Arthur Pic is the younger sibling of former Formula One competitor Charles Pic, who drove for both Caterham F1 Team and Marussia F1 Team.
