Jimmy Eriksson

Jimmy Eriksson (born 14 March 1991) is a Swedish racing driver, who competed in the FIA GP2 Series during the 2016 season with Arden. The older brother of BMW factory driver Joel Eriksson, Eriksson would only have one partial season in GP2, having run out of funding towards the end of the 2016 campaign.

Background
Eriksson began his career in karting in 2005 at the age of fourteen, and subsequently became the National Champion of Sweden in 2008. That earned Eriksson enough attention to secure a seat in the Formula Renault NEC 2.0 in 2009, with the Swede also getting run-outs in Formula Renault NEZ, Formula Renault Sweden and the Eurocup. Come the end of the season Eriksson had secured one win in the NEC, while finishing in the top ten of both the NEZ and FR Sweden.

The power of 3
2010 saw Eriksson move into the German Formula 3 Championship, while also getting a run-out in the Formula 3 Euro Series. Sixth in German F3 with one win saw Eriksson move into the Euro Series full time in 2011, with the Swede ultimately ending that campaign in the top ten. A return to German F3 in 2012 resulted in Eriksson securing his first junior title, winning eight races, before a switch to the GP3 Series in 2013.

Eriksson's first season in GP3 proved to be a rather tame affair, with the Swede failing to register any points. 2014, in contrast, would see the Swede claim two wins en-route to fourth in the Championship, with Eriksson also claiming a debut win in the European Le Mans Series. 2015 saw Eriksson get a third season in GP3, although he was ultimately unable to challenge for the title as planned.

Post GP2 Series Career
Eriksson would move into GT racing at the end of the 2016 season, joining the ADAC GT Masters, as well as the Blancpain GT Series. The Swede would end 2017 in third in the Blancpain Endurance Cup, before focusing on the ADAC GT Masters exclusively for 2018 and 2019.
