Career

Formula BMW Born in Paris, Tambay began his car racing career in the German Formula BMW ADAC series, finishing fourth and rookie champion. He moved to the new Formula BMW Europe series in 2008, where he finished third behind Esteban Gutiérrez and Marco Wittmann.

Formula Three In 2009, Tambay raced in the Formula Three Euroseries for leading team ART Grand Prix. He missed the Oschersleben and Nürburgring rounds of the Euroseries, and also an invitational entry to the British Formula 3 Championship at Spa, due to a head injury suffered while playing football. He ended the Euroseries season pointless, recording a best finish of seventh at EuroSpeedway and the Norisring.

Auto GP Tambay achieved his only win of the 2011 Auto GP season for Campos Racing, at Mugello. In 2010, Tambay raced in the Auto GP series for Charouz-Gravity Racing.

GP3 After James Jakes had a wrist injury at Hockenheim, Tambay was called in to replace him in Manor Racing. In his second outing at Spa-Francorchamps, Tambay retired first race and therefore started 27th in the second race. The rain started during the race, but Tambay kept driving on slicks, and winning the race ahead of Alexander Rossi.

Tambay was one of the eight Audi factory drivers in the DTM championship for five years between 2012 and 2016. He scored a top-ten championship finish in his first year and amassed a total of three podiums, one pole position and one fastest lap throughout his DTM career.
