He drove for several manufacturer teams, including the [Subaru World Rally Team](/source/Subaru_World_Rally_Team), [Mitsubishi](/source/Mitsubishi), [Hyundai](/source/Hyundai_Group) and [Škoda](/source/%C5%A0koda_Auto). He also competed for the manufacturer Mitsubishi squad in the Cross-Country World Cup and Dakar events between 1991 and 1992, finishing fourth overall in '91. He was the [1986](/source/1986_World_Rally_Championship_season) [Group A](/source/Group_A) Champion in the competition's only year, his best performance, overshadowed by the fatalities that occurred in that season. His finest showing in the top-tier World Rally Championship was third place overall for Mitsubishi in [1995](/source/1995_World_Rally_Championship_season). He controversially won the [Swedish Rally](/source/Swedish_Rally) that year under pressure on the road from second-placed young teammate [Tommi Mäkinen](/source/Tommi_M%C3%A4kinen), as well as winning directly ahead of the Champion-elect, Subaru World Rally Team's [Colin McRae](/source/Colin_McRae) in Australia. He then switched to Subaru for the [1996 season](/source/1996_World_Rally_Championship_season) to drive the [Impreza WRC](/source/Subaru_Impreza) alongside McRae.{{cite web | url = http://driveperformance.subaru.com/version2_1/origins.asp | title = Subaru in International Rallying: 1993-1996 | accessdate = 2008-02-23 | work = Drive Performance Magazine | url-status = dead | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20080513002525/http://www.driveperformance.subaru.com/version2_1/origins.asp | archivedate = 2008-05-13 }} {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080513002525/http://www.driveperformance.subaru.com/version2_1/origins.asp |date=2008-05-13 }} He excelled for them as a second points-scorer on the championship's [loose-surface](/source/gravel) rounds. Conversely, Italian [Piero Liatti](/source/Piero_Liatti) often took on the same responsibility for [asphalt](/source/Asphalt_concrete) rounds. By the end of the [1997 season](/source/1997_World_Rally_Championship_season) Eriksson and regular co-driver [Staffan Parmander](/source/Staffan_Parmander) had collected six individual World Rally victories. These included a famous win aboard the Impreza in New Zealand in 1997, on which occasion he took advantage of the altercation with a sheep that befell long-time leader, [Ford](/source/Ford_Motor_Company)'s [Carlos Sainz](/source/Carlos_Sainz_Sr.). Between 1995 and 1997, he also notched up a hat-trick of [Asia-Pacific](/source/Asia-Pacific_Rally_Championship) rally titles. [[File:Ke hyundai.jpg|thumb|right|Eriksson with a Hyundai Accent WRC at the 2001 [Rally Finland](/source/Rally_Finland).]] After finishing fourth on the [1998](/source/1998_World_Rally_Championship_season) Swedish Rally, Eriksson was released from his contract at [Subaru](/source/Subaru) in order to pursue a [kit-car](/source/kit-car) and latterly a [World Rally Car](/source/World_Rally_Car) chance with Hyundai. He was joined as factory driver of both the [Hyundai Coupe](/source/Hyundai_Coupe) and eventual [Hyundai Accent WRC](/source/Hyundai_Accent_WRC) by fellow eventual one-time Subaru driver, [Alister McRae](/source/Alister_McRae). 6th on the [2001](/source/2001_World_Rally_Championship_season) [Rally Great Britain](/source/Rally_Great_Britain) marked his solitary points finish for the team, on his last outing with them. He then enjoyed his final season with Škoda, in [2002](/source/2002_World_Rally_Championship_season), alongside navigator [Tina Thörner](/source/Tina_Th%C3%B6rner) in the light of Parmander's retirement and with his teammate in the sister [Octavia WRC](/source/%C5%A0koda_Octavia) being the young Finn [Toni Gardemeister](/source/Toni_Gardemeister). Eriksson departed the 'works' world rally scene at the end of 2002. He has since been competing in the [Race to the Sky](/source/Silverstone_Race_to_the_Sky) [hillclimb](/source/hillclimbing) event held in Cardrona Valley, New Zealand. He finished second in 2005, 2006 and 2007. ==WRC victories== {|class="wikitable" !  #  ! Event ! Season ! Co-driver !
