Early career
Lower series
Dunner started karting in 2014 when he was twelve. He won the Eastern European Rotax Max Challenge Central championship twice, once in the junior category and one in the mini max category. In 2017 Dunner competed in Spanish F4 for MP Motorsport alongside Bent Viscaal, Christian Lundgaard, Nazim Azman and Marta García.[1] The Austrian finished eighth in the standings with a best result of third at Navarra and Nogaro.
For the 2018 season, Dunner became a member of Drivex, competing for them in the Euroformula Open Championship.[2] As the team's only full-time entrant, Dunner scored two podiums and finished seventh overall. He remained in the series in 2019, this time joining Teo Martín Motorsport.[3] His results improved significantly, as he attained two pole positions and finished on the rostrum six times. With these results, Dunner managed to end up third in the standings, missing out on second to Liam Lawson in the final race of the campaign.[4]
Formula 3 and EFO title assault
At the end of 2019, Dunner competed in the Macau Grand Prix, driving for MP Motorsport.[5] He qualified a lowly 24th but was able to avoid the carnage of the qualifying race to finish 12th, before dropping to 14th in the main event.[6][7][8]
For the 2020 season, Dunner signed on with MP to partner Richard Verschoor and Bent Viscaal the FIA Formula 3 Championship.[9] He was unable to score points throughout the course of the season and finished 27th in the standings, having achieved a best result of twelfth place in the feature race at the Hungaroring.[10] Parallel to his F3 commitments Dunner drove in Euroformula Open once again, this time in a partial campaign for the CryptoTower-badged Motopark team.[11] After winning on his return at Le Castellet, nine further podiums — which included two victories at Monza and a win each at Mugello and Spa — earned him the runner-up spot in the championship.[12]
Rallying
In 2021, Dunner took part in the Mitropa Rally Cup. Driving a Škoda Fabia R5, the Austrian won the title after taking three rally victories.[13]
Sportscar career
After almost two years out of the driving seat, Dunner returned to racing ahead of the final round of the 2023 International GT Open, piloting a Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo at his former EFO team Motopark.[14] He and Pro-Am teammate Morten Strømsted took a class podium in their first race together. Thereafter, the Austrian competed in all five races of the 2023–24 Asian Le Mans Series season, partnering bronze-ranked drivers Strømsted and Heiko Neumann.[15] The trio failed to score points throughout the campaign, having claimed a best race finish of 13th in Dubai.
Dunner embarked on a full season in IGTO in 2024, once again driving for Motopark.[16] After being joined by Charles Bateman during the first two rounds, Dunner would be partnered by fellow silver-ranked driver and sportscar newbie Lorenzo Fluxá.[17]
