Christian Bakkerud was an established professional racing driver who competed in single-seater championships against graded professionals and semi-professional competitors. He raced in the GP2 Series across 2007 and 2008, driving for Super Nova Racing, and made two starts in Formula 3 Macau in 2005 with Carlin Motorsport. His career comprised nine starts total across these indexed series before his retirement.[1]
Bakkerud's GP2 campaign in 2008 yielded a 24th-place championship finish from one round raced; his complete GP2 record across both seasons totalled seven starts. Against the strongest drivers in his racing, he finished ahead of Sébastien Buemi and Mike Conway once each, both of them established professionals who went on to become multiple-time world champions in prototype racing and single-seater series. He was a regular opponent of Lucas di Grassi and Kazuki Nakajima in the GP2 grid, though he typically finished behind both.[2]
The grid he raced in included drivers who became Formula E and WEC title winners; Bakkerud remained mid-pack in that company. He drove for DPR in six of his nine starts, a small operation that fielded established professional Johnny Cecotto Jr. among its drivers across the broader index.
