# Jonas Ried

Jonas Ried (born 18 December 2004) is a German racing driver currently competing in the European Le Mans Series for Proton Competition.
He is the son of FIA World Endurance Championship driver and Proton Competition team owner Christian Ried.

## Early career
### Karting

Having finished second in the Bavarian-based Kart Trophy Weiß-Blau in 2014, 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. Ried would remain in karting until 2020, where he made a first foray into gearbox karts.

### Lower formulae
#### 2021

Ried progressed into single-seaters in 2021, racing for BWT Mücke Motorsport in the Formula 4 UAE Championship at the start of the year. There he would take his first podiums in car racing, one at Yas Island and Dubai respectively, and finished ninth in the standings.
That season, the German would compete full-time in the Italian F4 Championship with the same team, partnering Joshua Dürksen and Erick Zúñiga. His best finish came during Race 1 in Misano, where he also took the fastest lap, and another points finish the race before at Le Castellet meant that Ried ended up 23rd overall.

#### 2022

Having begun the 2022 season by racing in the F4 UAE Championship during the winter, Ried teamed up with Taylor Barnard and Niktia Bedrin for a season in Italian and ADAC F4 with new team PHM Racing. Ried would experience a challenging campaign in the former, managing to score points on just one occasion in Monza, 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.

## Sportscar career

In 2023, Ried would make a switch to endurance racing, first driving for Rinaldi Racing in the LMP3 class of the Asian Le Mans Series, before joining his father's team, Proton Competition, for a season in the European Le Mans Series as part of the LMP2 category. The campaign in Asia started off promisingly, as Ried, Matthias Lüthen and Lorcan Hanafin finished Race 1 at Dubai 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.
At the start of June 2023 it was announced that Ried would partner Harry Tincknell and Donald Yount at Proton in the LMGTE Am category in the cetenary edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Ried would crash out of the race during the early stages of Sunday morning, losing control of his Porsche 911 RSR-19 under braking on the approach to Indianapolis. 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 the AsLMS with ARC Bratislava during the winter, the German entered the ELMS with Iron Lynx - Proton to partner Matteo Cairoli and Macéo Capietto in the LMP2 Pro class.
