Joel Daniel Andreas Eriksson[1] (born 28 June 1998) is a Swedish racing driver currently a reserve driver for the Jaguar TCS Racing.

Career

[edit]

Karting

[edit]

Eriksson began his karting career in 2007. He remained in karting until 2014.

Formula 4

[edit]

In 2014, Eriksson made his debut in open-wheel racing in the ADAC Formel Masters. In 2015 he stayed in the series, now called ADAC Formula 4, and finished the season second in the standings.

F3 European Championship

[edit]

In 2016, Eriksson moved to the FIA Formula 3 European Championship with Motopark. He won one race at Spa-Francorchamps and was 5th in the championship standings. He continued with the team into the 2017 season, where he was runner-up to Carlin's Lando Norris with 7 wins.

DTM

[edit]

Two seasons in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters driving for BMW Team RBM followed. Eriksson achieved his maiden DTM victory in 2018 at Misano in a rain-drenched night race, becoming the second-youngest DTM race winner in the process.[2][3] He racked up a further two podiums the following year.

Formula E

[edit]
Eriksson made his Formula E debut with Dragon at the 2021 Puebla ePrix.

Eriksson tested Formula E machinery for the first time in January 2018, driving for DS Virgin Racing in the 2018 rookie test at Marrakesh.[4]

Dragon Racing (2021)

[edit]

Eriksson was named by Dragon Racing as its official test and reserve driver for the 2019–20 season, taking part in the March 2020 rookie test at Marrakesh.[5] He retained the role the following year as the team rebranded as Dragon / Penske Autosport. He made his debut in the championship at the 2021 Puebla ePrix, replacing regular driver Nico Müller, who left the team due to several clashing commitments.[6] He finished the 2021 season with one point in eight races.

Envision Racing (2024)

[edit]

Eriksson made his first start since the 2021 Berlin ePrix for Envision subbing in for Robin Frijns who had commitments in the World Endurance Championship in the 2024 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps for BMW Team WRT at the 2024 Berlin ePrix. Eriksson was joined that double-header by Estonian Paul Aron who subbed in for Sébastien Buemi who was also at the 6 Hours of Spa for Toyota GR Racing.[7]

Personal life
