Mica Sebastian Bogislaus Hohenthal (born 5 November 1984 in Mora) is a retired race car driver hailing from Sweden.
Karting
Between 1995 and 2000, Hohenthal competed in kart racing, achieving several championships such as the Dalacupen Formula Micro in 1996, the Tom Trana Trophy ICA Junior in 1999, and both the Nordic and Swedish ICA Junior titles in 2000.
Formula Ford
In 2001, Hohenthal progressed to formula racing, participating in the Nordic and Swedish Formula Ford championships. By 2003, racing for the team managed by rally legend Stig Blomqvist, he secured both championships. That same year, he entered the UK racing circuit with Nexa Racing, capturing the title in the British Formula Ford Championship Winter Series.
The following year, 2004, saw him contest the full British Formula Ford Championship, finishing third overall. Additionally, at the Formula Ford Festival held at Brands Hatch, he placed third and recorded the fastest lap time.
Formula Renault
Hohenthal moved up to the British Formula Renault Championship in 2005 with Fortec Motorsport, ending his rookie season in fourth place. The next year, 2006, he clinched the championship, registering five pole positions and seven victories out of twenty races.
He also took part in a single round of the Asian Formula Renault Challenge during 2006 but did not earn any points.
Formula Three
Continuing with Fortec Motorsport, Hohenthal competed in the British Formula Three Championship in 2007. He achieved a win at Brands Hatch and secured pole position at Thruxton, concluding the season ninth overall. Remaining with Fortec for the 2008 campaign, he won at Rockingham but withdrew after competing at Spa when championship prospects diminished.
Formula Two
In 2009, Hohenthal entered the revived FIA Formula Two Championship, aspiring to follow in the footsteps of fellow Swede Ronnie Peterson. Driving car number two, he scored points on just two occasions—both at Donington Park—and finished sixteenth in the final standings.
Retirement
After an unremarkable season in Formula Two, Hohenthal ended his professional driving career due to financial limitations that prevented advancement to higher tiers like Formula One or GP2. He then shifted focus toward mentoring up-and-coming talent by collaborating with Hello Sweden and founding the Hohenthal Racing Academy in May 2010.
