Career

Karting

Formula 4

F3 European Championship

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

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.

Dragon Racing (2021)

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.

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)
