Jimmy Joakim Eriksson (born 14 March 1991 in Tomelilla) is a Swedish professional racing driver who participated in the GP2 Series representing Arden International during the 2016 season.

Karting

Eriksson commenced his karting journey in 2005 at the age of fourteen and went on to claim the Swedish Formula Yamaha Championship title in 2008.

Formula Renault

His transition to car racing began in 2009 within the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup driving for Motopark Academy. That year, he achieved a race win at Alastaro Circuit and concluded the season sixteenth overall, accumulating several points finishes. Additionally, he competed selectively in the Formula Renault 2.0 NEZ, Formula Renault 2.0 Sweden, and Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 series, all under Motopark's banner.

Formula Three

In 2010, Eriksson progressed to the German Formula Three Championship with Motopark Academy, ending the year sixth in the championship standings. The following year, he raced in the Formula 3 Euro Series, finishing ninth overall. Returning to German Formula Three in 2012, he secured the championship title by winning eight races and reaching the podium seventeen times across twenty-seven events.

GP3 Series

Eriksson stepped up to the GP3 Series in 2013 with Status Grand Prix, although he did not score points that season. In 2014, he switched to Koiranen GP, where he improved significantly, finishing fourth in the drivers' rankings. He remained with Koiranen for 2015 and ended the season fifth overall.

GP2 Series

On 29 April 2016, Eriksson was signed by Arden International to compete in the GP2 Series. He earned points once by finishing fifth at Austria but was forced to miss the last two rounds due to funding challenges.

GT racing

In 2017, Eriksson competed in the Blancpain GT Series Sprint Cup piloting a Mercedes-AMG GT3 for HTP Motorsport. Alongside teammate Dominik Baumann, he achieved fifth place at Misano and seventh place during the Hungary feature races.

Personal life

Jimmy Eriksson's younger sibling, Joel Eriksson, is also a professional racer who took part in Formula E in 2021.
