Johan Daniel Valentiner Jokinen (born 20 June 1990 in Copenhagen) is a Danish race car driver who most recently competed in the 2012 Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 season representing Manor MP Motorsport.
Formula Ford
Jokinen launched his formula racing journey in regional Formula Ford competitions, piloting a decade-old Van Diemen vehicle. He secured victory in the Formula Ford Junior Cup Denmark and finished second overall in Formula Ford Denmark, achieving the highest number of wins that season with five. His impressive debut earned him the Tom Kristensen Trophy for best newcomer, and he was honored as Talent of The Year 2007 by the Dansk Automobil Sports Union, Denmark's governing body for motorsport.
Winning the Junior Cup granted him a complimentary entry to the unofficial Formula Ford World Championships held at the Formula Ford Festival at Brands Hatch. Although he faced difficulties during qualifying and suffered a significant crash, Jokinen advanced to the final race starting from 24th on the grid and completed the event in 17th place following several race stoppages.
Formula Renault
In 2007, Jokinen participated in six rounds of the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup with KEO Racing, concluding the season 41st with thirteen points.
The next year, he competed simultaneously in both the NEC and Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 series, driving for Motopark Academy and iQuick. He finished fourth in the NEC championship, scoring points in fifteen out of sixteen races including a victory at Oschersleben. In the Eurocup, he took part in the last four races but did not score points; however, his qualifying performances consistently placed him among the top five drivers.
For 2009, Jokinen remained with iQuick as it merged with Draco Racing to form Draco Junior Team, assuming the role of lead driver under the Draco Young Driver Project. Nevertheless, due to subpar team performance and financial difficulties, he departed after the second round held at Spa-Francorchamps.
Formula Three Euroseries
Jokinen progressed to full-time competition in Formula Three with Kolles & Heinz Union for the Formula Three Euroseries, taking over from Robert Wickens who advanced to the FIA Formula Two Championship. He ended the season 24th without earning points.
FIA Formula Two Championship
Following a productive winter testing phase, Jokinen committed to a full campaign in the FIA Formula Two Championship shortly before its commencement. Despite encountering technical setbacks and crashes, he contested six races before sustaining a complex fracture to his left toe during training. He successfully finished only two events, achieving third place in race two at Silverstone and seventh place in race one at Monza. Notably at Monza, he briefly led after overtaking the frontrunner on lap one—marking the sole direct lead pass beyond the first corner in modern Formula Two history—before receiving a drive-through penalty resulting from marshal mistakes.
Personal life
Currently residing in Aarhus, Denmark, Jokinen previously spent most of his time living in Copenhagen and dedicated eight months training at Italy’s Formula Medicine facility located in Viareggio. His year away from formal education caused slight delays academically; nonetheless, he intended to complete his studies by 2011.
Beyond racing and academics, Jokinen enjoys skiing, cycling, football and has personal interests that include reading, cooking, and music.
