Before reaching Formula 1, Pic was particularly impressive in Formula Renault 3.5, and was also a race winner in the GP2 series. Pic was also Lotus F1's reserve and test driver for a while. Charles stopped racing once Formula E was finished as is now a director at the Groupe Charles Andre Delta Route truck firm in his home town of Montelimar; following in the footsteps of his father who ran Delta Route from 1991 until 2008 and who later became President of the French National Federation of Road Transport (FNTR).
