Salvador Durán Sánchez (born 6 May 1985) is a professional Mexican racing driver who participated in the FIA Formula E Championship representing Amlin Aguri. His career also includes competition in A1 Grand Prix, Formula Renault 3.5 Series, and the NASCAR Toyota Series.

Career

Hailing from Mexico City, Durán launched his racing journey in 2002 by securing second place in the Skip Barber National series and clinching the Midwestern Champion title. The following year, he placed eighth in Italian Formula Renault and ranked fifteenth in the Formula Renault Eurocup. Between 2004 and 2005, he raced in the British F3 International Series National Class with P1 Motorsport, ultimately winning the class championship in 2005.

Building on this achievement, Durán competed in the 2005–06 A1 Grand Prix season for Team Mexico, where he triumphed in both events held at Laguna Seca. In 2006, he advanced to the British F3 Championship Class with Hitech Racing, finishing tenth overall and achieving his best result of fourth place at Silverstone.

Durán continued his involvement in A1 Grand Prix during the 2006–07 season and was a member of Chip Ganassi Racing’s victorious team at the 2007 24 Hours of Daytona, driving alongside Juan Pablo Montoya and Scott Pruett.

In 2009, he took part in the final four A1GP races representing Mexico, earning a podium finish and contributing to Mexico’s top ten placement in the championship standings. During the 2010 NASCAR Mexico Series, driving for Citizen-DHL, Durán secured a pole position and two podium finishes, although he ended the season outside of the top twenty overall.

In December 2014, Amlin Aguri announced Durán as their driver for the third round of the inaugural Formula E season at Punta del Este, stepping in for Katherine Legge.

For the 2015–16 Formula E campaign, Durán signed with Trulli GP; however, after Trulli withdrew following three rounds without participating, he returned to Team Aguri. After competing in three races with Team Aguri, he was replaced by Ma Qing Hua at the Paris ePrix, who completed the remainder of the season.
