Jimmy Eriksson (born 14 March 1991 in Tomelilla) is a Swedish race car driver who drove in the GP2 Series for Arden International in the 2016 GP2 Series
Eriksson made his karting debut in 2005, at the age of fourteen. In 2008 he was champion of the Swedish Formula Yamaha Championship.
Eriksson began his car racing career by driving in the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup with Motopark Academy in 2009. He took a victory at Alastaro Circuit[1] along with fourteen point-scoring positions to finish sixteenth in championship.[2] Also he competed in some races of Formula Renault 2.0 NEZ, Formula Renault 2.0 Sweden and Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0, all with Motopark.
In 2010, Eriksson stepped up to the German Formula Three Championship with the Motopark Academy team.[3] finishing sixth in points. He moved to the Formula 3 Euro Series in 2011, finishing ninth. The Swede returned to German Formula Three in 2012, winning the championship with 8 wins and 17 podiums in 27 races.
In 2013, Eriksson progressed to GP3 Series, scoring no points for Status Grand Prix. In 2014 he joined Koiranen GP, ranking fourth in the drivers' championship. Continuing with Koiranen in 2015, the driver finished fifth in points.
On 29 April 2016, he was announced at driving at the GP2 Series for Arden International. He scored points once at the Austria feature race with a fifth-place finish, but missed the final two rounds due to financial setbacks.
In 2017, Eriksson was signed by HTP Motorsport to drive a Mercedes-AMG GT3 at the Blancpain GT Series Sprint Cup. Partnering with Dominik Baumann, he finished fifth at the Misano feature race, and seventh at the Hungary feature race.
Eriksson's younger brother, Joel Eriksson, is also a racing driver, and most recently raced in Formula E in 2021.
† As Eriksson was a guest driver, he was ineligible for points.
