Christer Jöns (born 23 July 1987) is a German racing driver competing in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie for Juta Racing in the SP9 Pro-Am class.
An Audi Sport regular in the ADAC GT Masters and 24 Hours of Nürburgring, primarily for Abt Sportsline, Jöns notably won the Bathurst 12 Hour in 2012. He is also the 2009 VLN Series champion.
Career Jöns began his racing career in 2003, racing in Formula König. After spending two seasons in the series, Jöns switched to the German Formula Three Championship and JMS Motorsport for the next two seasons, most notably finishing runner-up in the Trophy standings in 2005. In 2007, Jöns made his debut at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring, which he won a year later in the V6 class for Sartorius Team Black Falcon.
In 2009, Jöns remained with Black Falcon to mainly race in the SEAT Leon Supercopa Germany, taking four wins and securing runner-up honours in points, as well as winning the VLN Series overall title with the team's BMW 325i. Continuing with the German team for 2010, Jöns primarily raced with them in the VLN Series, as well as racing part-time in the FIA GT3 European Championship. During 2010, Jöns also finished third in the SP9 class of the 24 Hours of Nürburgring and won the Dubai 24 Hour in SP2 for the same team.
Continuing in GT3 competition for the following year, Jöns joined Audi-affiliated Abt Sportsline to race in ADAC GT Masters. In his first season in the series, Jöns scored four podiums, including three second-place finishes, en route to a seventh-place points finish. A part-time campaign in the series then ensued in 2012 with the same team, a year in which he also won the Bathurst 12 Hour outright for Phoenix Racing, sharing an Audi R8 LMS GT3 with Christopher Mies and Darryl O'Young. Returning to full-time ADAC GT Masters competition in 2013 with Abt, Jöns stood on the podium four times, taking a best result of second twice, as he ended the year ninth in points.
Another part-time season then followed in 2014 for Abt, in which Jöns scored a lone podium at Zandvoort, before returning for a full season in 2015 for the same team and finishing seventh overall at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring in Team WRT's Audi R8 LMS. Jöns then remained with Abt for the 2016 ADAC GT Masters season, as the team switched to Bentley machinery. In his fourth full-time season in the series, Jöns took a best result of second in race one at the Red Bull Ring en route to an 11th-place points finish. During 2016, Jöns also finished third at the Dubai 24 Hour in Abt's Audi R8 LMS.
The following year, Jöns won the 24 Hours of Nürburgring in SP9 LG and raced in the 24 Hours of Spa for Bentley Team Abt, before making one-off appearances at the Nürburgring and Dubai in 2018 for Audi-aligned Mücke Motorsport. In 2019, Jöns raced for Nissan-affiliated KCMG at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring, as well as racing for Dörr Motorsport in select rounds of ADAC GT4 Germany, scoring a lone podium at the Nürburgring in the team's McLaren 570S GT4. Guest starts for Dörr in ADAC GT4 Germany then continued the following year, a year in which Jöns also raced at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring and the NLS for Mercedes-linked GetSpeed Performance in SP9. Returning to Dörr Motorsport for the 2021 ADAC GT4 Germany season, Jöns took a best result of second in race one at Sachsenring but wasn't eligible to score points as he was a guest driver.
Following select appearances in GTC Race and GT Cup Europe for Aust Motorsport in 2022, Jöns won the 12 Hours of Estoril for Scherer Sport PHX in GT3 Pro-Am and made a cameo in GT World Challenge Australia for Audi-fielding Melbourne Performance Centre. During 2023, Jöns also made a one-off return to ADAC GT Masters for Mercedes customer team Schnitzelalm Racing. In 2024, Jöns won the 24 Hours of Barcelona in GT3 Pro-Am, as well as finishing second in the Cup2 Pro class at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring for Scherer Sport PHX. The following year, Jöns returned to the German enduro with Hyundai Motorsport, winning it in the TCR class alongside Marc Basseng and Manuel Lauck.
In early 2026, Jöns partook in an official DTM pre-season test at Vallelunga, aboard HGL Racing's Audi R8 LMS Evo II.
