Monoposto
After winning the British Formula 3 Championship in 1979, Johansson was registered for the first time for a Formula 1 race at the 1980 Argentina Grand Prix on Shadow . However, he was unable to qualify for the race at this or his second Grand Prix in Brazil (in the same season). Johansson did not contest his first Grand Prix until 1983 at the Grand Prix of Great Britain .
Johansson achieved a total of 88 world championship points, his best results being four second places in 1985 at the Grand Prix of Canada and the USA in a Ferrari and in 1987 in the GP of Belgium and Germany in a McLaren- TAG - Porsche . Once Johansson narrowly missed out on a win when he ran out of gas with three laps to go at the 1985 San Marino Grand Prix . His best overall ranking was fifth in 1986 with Ferrari.
After a series of disappointments in the years 1989 to 1991 and numerous races for which Johansson could not qualify due to a lack of competitive material, he switched to the IndyCar World Series in 1992 with Tony Bettenhausen's team . He finished third at his first start in Detroit and won the Rookie of the Year Award at the end of the season . Johansson stayed in this racing series until the end of 1996, but did not win a race here either. In 1996 Johansson was involved in the collision with Jeff Krosnoff in Toronto , which cost both Krosnoff and a marshal their lives.
The Swede initially ended his active racing career, around 2007 on the establishment of a new racing series in the Middle East, the Speedcar Series to participate, where he in the 2007/2008 season on numerous former Formula 1 drivers like Jean Alesi , Heinz Harald Frentzen , Johnny Herbert , Gianni Morbidelli and Jacques Villeneuve .

After winning the sports car races in Mugello in 1983 and Spa-Francorchamps in 1988, Johansson celebrated his greatest successes in endurance races in 1997. With Joest Racing he won Le Mans and the 12-hour race at Sebring - held a few weeks before the classic at the Sarthe - he drove a Ferrari 333SP to overall victory. Teammates there were Fermín Vélez , Andy Evans and Yannick Dalmas .
With the establishment of his own racing team, the Swede also entered the American Le Mans Series in the early 2000s . Up until 2008 he had competed a total of 14 times in Le Mans. With the Audi R8 , he achieved another top position in this race in 2003 with third place overall.
