2013

In the Italian championship Dürksen won a race in Austria and placed 13th in the end results.

2019

In 2019 Dürksen made his single-seater debut, racing for Mücke Motorsport in the Formula 4 UAE Championship alongside Nico Göhler.

He scored his first victory at the first round of the championship at the Dubai Autodrome and won four more races over the course of the campaign.

The Paraguayan lost out on the title to Matteo Nannini, finishing 68 points behind his rival.

Dürksen then competed in both the Italian and ADAC Formula 4 championships.

Staying on with Mücke Motorsport in Italy and its German offshoot ADAC Berlin-Brandenburg in ADAC F4, the Paraguayan won a race at Vallelunga and finished eighth and eleventh in the championships respectively.

The following year Dürksen returned to the ADAC Formula 4 Championship on a full-time basis, whilst also racing in three rounds of Italian F4.

He won two races in ADAC F4, those being the final race at the first Nürburgring round and the following race at the Hockenheimring, leading to him finishing sixth in the drivers' standings, with six podiums and 191 points.

The Paraguayan returned to the Italian F4 Championship with BWT Mücke Motorsport in 2019 for his final season in Formula 4.

He improved to sixth in the final standings and won two races at the Mugello round.

Dürksen also made a one-off appearance in the third-tier Euroformula Open Championship for Drivex School at the Hungaroring, accomplishing a podium on debut.

Despite initial difficulties to secure the necessary funding, Dürksen was able to make the step up to the Formula Regional European Championship in 2022, partnering fellow Latin Americans Eduardo Barrichello and Noel León at Arden Motorsport.

He declared his dream of making it to Formula One was "more alive than ever".

During the 2023 pre-season, Dürksen joined the Formula Regional Middle East Championship with Hyderabad Blackbirds by MP Motorsport, from the second round onwards.

For his main campaign, Dürksen remained with Arden Motorsport for the 2023 Formula Regional European Championship.

Dürksen drove for PHM Racing during the 2023 Formula 3 post-season test in Imola.

In November 2023, it was announced that Dürksen would drive in the 2024 FIA Formula 2 Championship for PHM AIX Racing, partnering FIA Formula 3 graduate Taylor Barnard.
