Karting (2022–2024)
Dupé began his motorsport career at the age of eleven, competing in national and international karting events.
He officially started competing in 2022 in the OK-Junior category with the Sodi Factory Team managed by Jean-Philippe Guignet[5] At the CIK-FIA European Championship in Franciacorta, he qualified third. [6] He later repeated this performance at the CIK-FIA World Championship in Sarno.[7]
In 2023, he joined Kart Republic, a team managed by Dino Chiesa—mentor to champions such as Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. He ended the year as Vice Champion of the Italian Karting Championship in OK, ahead of fellow French drivers Maxens Verbrugge and Jules Caranta, the latter a member of the Red Bull Academy.
In 2024, Dupé joined the Prema Racing karting team.[8][9]
However, a knee injury requiring surgery[8] sidelined him for much of the 2024 season. He returned at the European round in Slovakia, finished 8th[10] at the Champions of the Future event, and he qualified for all the final rounds of the European and World Championships.[11]
At the CIK-FIA World Championship at PFI (UK), he qualified 4th in his group and finished 25th overall after an incident in the final.[12] brought his karting career to an early close.
Formula 4 (2025–present)
In 2024, Dupé tested a Formula 4 car for the first time at Cremona Circuit with AKM Motorsport, where he worked alongside Marco Antonelli and his son, Andrea Kimi Antonelli.
Later in 2024, Dupé was selected to participate in the Richard Mille Young Talent Academy. He posted the fastest time in the pre-selection tests at Alcarràs Circuit, and finished fourth in the final shootout at Jerez, narrowly missing a fully funded seat with MP Motorsport in Spanish F4.[13]
In early 2025, Dupé joined AS Motorsport [14][15] for the Formula Winter Series. He scored points and contributed to the team's seventh-place finish in the team standings. He achieved multiple top-three finishes in the rookie classification, including a best result of 8th overall and 2nd among rookies.[16] Dupé then joined PHM Racing for the start of the 2025 Italian F4 Championship.[17]
In July 2025, Dupé switched to Prema Racing for the remaining rounds of the Italian F4 Championship, competing alongside Kean Nakamura-Berta, Oleksandr Bondarev, Sebastian Wheldon, Zhenrui Chi, and Salim Hanna.[18] He was committed to a full campaign in the 2025 E4 Championship.[19]
Dupé is coached by former French racing driver Bruno Besson.[20]
