Racing career

Comte began his career in 2005 in Karting and continued in karting until 2006. In 2006, he switched to the Renault Clio Cup France series. He continued in the series up until 2008 where he finished fourth in the championship standings having finished eighth in 2007. For 2010, he switched to the SEAT León Supercopa France series, finishing sixth in the championship standings in his first year in the series. He continued in the series in 2011, taking a single victory and several podiums on his way to finishing fifth in the standings. 2012 was his last year in the series and he finished it by taking several victories, podiums, and pole positions as well as finishing third in the standings. In 2013, he took part in the European Touring Car Cups Single-Makes Trophy class, finishing third in the class standings after several victories in class. In 2014, he switched to the Peugeot RCZ Racing Cup France series, winning the championship after taking eight victories out of thirteen possible. He continued in the series in 2015, again winning the championship. For 2016, he raced in three different championships, like in 2014 and 2015, he raced in the Peugeot RCZ Racing Cup France. However, he only took part in one championship round. He also made one-off appearances in the TCR BeNeLux Touring Car Championship and Championnat de France Prototypes series.

For 2017, he returned full-time to the TCR BeNeLux Touring Car Championship, partnering Kevin Abbring in the Peugeot 308 Racing Cup, with the pair taking several victories and finishing fourth in the standings. After finishing the 2017 TCR BeNeLux Touring Car Championship season, he went on to compete in the one-off TCR Europe Trophy event again driving for his TCR BeNeLux team DG Sport Compétition and still driving the Peugeot. Comte went on to finish third in Race and finished second in Race 2, which was won by Gabriele Tarquini. However, since Tarquini was ineligible for points, the victory went to him and he became the 2017 TCR Europe Trophy champion.

In November 2017, it was announced that he would race in the TCR International Series, driving an Opel Astra TCR for his TCR BeNeLux team DG Sport Compétition.
