🇸🇪 Joel Eriksson

Joel Eriksson is an established professional racing driver rated 5,593, competing at FIA Platinum level in endurance and sportscar racing. He spent his formative years in single-seater racing before transitioning to GT and long-distance competition, where he has become a regular presence in European endurance grids. Eriksson drives for Falken Motorsports in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie and contested the 2024 Nürburgring 24 Hours in a shared GT3 car for Falken.[1]

His record spans 11 seasons from 2015 onward across 155 starts. He rose through formula racing with Motopark, taking seven wins in ADAC Formula 4 in 2015 before progressing to FIA Formula 3 European in 2016–2017, where he accumulated eight wins and 24 podiums across 56 starts and finished runner-up in the 2017 championship. His spell in DTM from 2018 to 2019 produced a single win from 35 starts. He then shifted toward endurance racing, where his primary success has come; four wins and four podiums from seven starts in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie represent his most consistent results as a driver. His Formula E campaign with Envision Racing from 2020 to 2026 yielded 17 starts but no wins. Additional appearances in ADAC GT Masters, British GT, and international 24-hour races completed his recent portfolio.[2]

In Formula 3 European, Eriksson regularly finished ahead of drivers who went on to Formula 1 careers, including George Russell and Lando Norris, though both ultimately proved stronger over the course of their rivalry. More regularly, he competes alongside established professionals of similar standing; his most frequent opponent is Maximilian Günther, an FIA Platinum driver who matches him closely across their shared seasons. Against Harrison Newey, a Silver-graded professional, Eriksson has typically held the upper hand. His work with Motopark placed him among a team that has fielded 30 drivers across the index and produced elite-level talent such as David Malukas.
