Jonas Ried (born 18 December 2004) is a German racing driver currently competing in theEuropean Le Mans Series forProton Competition.[1]
He is the son ofFIA World Endurance Championship driver andProton Competition team ownerChristian Ried.[2]
Having finished second in the Bavarian-based Kart Trophy Weiß-Blau in 2014,[3][4] Ried began karting at a national level the following year, taking part in the ADAC Kart Masters in the Bambini class. Parallel to that, he would also compete in the South German ADAC Kart Cup, finishing third in 2016, while also becoming runner-up in the ADAC Kart Bundesendlauf during his first year of OK Junior karting in 2017.[5] Ried would remain in karting until 2020, where he made a first foray into gearbox karts.[6]
Ried progressed into single-seaters in 2021, racing forBWT Mücke Motorsport in theFormula 4 UAE Championship at the start of the year.[7] There he would take his first podiums in car racing, one atYas Island andDubai respectively, and finished ninth in the standings.
That season, the German would compete full-time in theItalian F4 Championship with the same team, partneringJoshua Dürksen and Erick Zúñiga.[8] His best finish came during Race 1 inMisano, where he also took the fastest lap, and another points finish the race before atLe Castellet meant that Ried ended up 23rd overall.
Having begun the 2022 season by racing in theF4 UAE Championship during the winter,[9] Ried teamed up withTaylor Barnard and Niktia Bedrin for a season inItalian andADAC F4 with new teamPHM Racing.[10] Ried would experience a challenging campaign in the former, managing to score points on just one occasion inMonza, whereas the season in Germany proved to bear more fruit, with Ried taking points in all but four races, which meant he took ninth in the drivers' standings.[11]
In 2023, Ried would make a switch toendurance racing, first driving for Rinaldi Racing in theLMP3 class of theAsian Le Mans Series, before joining his father's team,Proton Competition, for a season in theEuropean Le Mans Series as part of theLMP2 category.[12][13] The campaign in Asia started off promisingly, as Ried,Matthias Lüthen and Lorcan Hanafin finished Race 1 atDubai in fourth place, however three subsequent, successive retirements caused by reliability issues and a collision in the final race meant that the trio ended up twelfth in the drivers' standings.[14]
At the start of June 2023 it was announced that Ried would partnerHarry Tincknell and Donald Yount at Proton in the LMGTE Am category in the centenary edition of the24 Hours of Le Mans.[15] Ried would crash out of the race during the early stages of Sunday morning, losing control of hisPorsche 911 RSR-19 under braking on the approach to Indianapolis.[16] In the ELMS, Ried and Proton scored a best Pro-Am finish of fifth and ended up eighth in the teams' standings.
Having competed in theAsLMS withARC Bratislava during the winter, the German entered theELMS withIron Lynx -Proton to partnerMatteo Cairoli andMacéo Capietto in the LMP2 Pro class.[17][18]
