2005 saw Duncan’s first full season in car racing with a remarkable thirteen consecutive race wins in Formula Ford. Not only did he take the championship by storm in the second part of the season, he dominated the prestigious Formula Ford Festival at Brands Hatch where he faced stiff competition from international Formula Ford rivals.
The next step for Duncan was to progress to a ‘slicks and wings’ car for 2006 and he chose Formula Renault UK to make his leap. He spent his first season with his old Formula Ford team – Jamun Racing – learning the car and the engineering aspects that make it such a competitive series.
2007 saw a move to Fortec Motorsport where Duncan wasted no time in making an impression. He took the UK Formula Renault Championship title with ten impressive wins. In 2008 Duncan showed his versatility with drives in World Series by Renault with Italian Team RC Motorsport, Superleague Formula where he achieved three podium finishes out of ten races, Rookie sessions in Mexico and Shanghai with A1 GP GBR, the Le Mans Series, Porsche Carrera Cup and Time Attack.
