Stefan Johansson
For almost three decades Stefan Johansson has been one of the top drivers in the world of international motorsports. He has been successful in Formula One, IndyCar and Le Mans style sports car racing, winning both the 12 hours of Sebring twice (Porsche, Ferrari) and the 24 Hours of Le Mans (Porsche).
Throughout his career Stefan has driven for some of the most prestigious teams and manufacturers in the world including: Ferrari, McLaren, Porsche, Mercedes, Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, Audi and Acura. He is still keeping very active with his racing career and is currently racing in the Le Mans prototype category as well as the newly formed Speedcar series.
When not overseeing his business interests or tending to his own racing career, Stefan is something of a Renaissance man with interests in art and design. He is also an accomplished painter with several exhibitions under his belt. In design his talent runs the gamut from creating all the watches for his Stefan Johansson Vaxjo watch company soon to be followed by other equally exclusive products such as Fragrance, Optics, Luggage, and other Accessories. Stefan has also consulted on a number of Race Track design projects. He runs his own Driver Management Company which includes the current Indianapolis 500 and the 2008 IRL series Champion Scott Dixon as well as TV Commentary, acts as an adviser and consultant to various Racing Teams and Tracks.
Stefan is a Father of Three Children, Kelly, Clara, and Stefan Jr. and currently resides in Los Angeles, CA
"I have been blessed with a wonderful life, being able to do for a living what I love to do more than anything else. I have had the opportunity to work with some of the most creative minds and greatest teams in the world and raced against some of the best drivers in the history of the sport. I have been in a position to race at all the most demanding and famous race tracks around the world such as Le Mans, Indianapolis 500 and Monaco to name a few. Every car and track presented their own challenge. The beauty of this sport is the never ending search for ultimate perfomance both from yourself and your equipment. The challenges presented to the teams and the drivers are huge and the pressure is enourmous, and it never really lets up. It is interesting how people react in different ways to these challenges. For me personally, when you stretch yourself to a point where you have never been before, beyond your fears, there is an enourmous sense of freedom."
