==Career start==

Hansen has won the Swedish Karting Championship in 2008, and has won races in Formula BMW, Formula Renault 2.0 Alps and the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0. In April 2011, he drove his first ever rallycross event at Dreux in France with a by MTechnologies lent Citroën Xsara Supercar of Marc Laboulle, that was previously used by Davy Jeanney to claim the French 2010 championship title. In 2012, his father offered him a one-off drive in the FIA European Rallycross Championship, the Finnish ERX round at Kouvola saw him driving the 2012 X Games winning car of Sébastien Loeb to an impressive fifth place overall. After he gave up single seater racing, the younger Hansen started his rallycross career by taking part in the entire 2013 Euro RX series, after nine rounds finishing in third place overall.

==World RX==

For 2014, Hansen was partnered by former European Rallycross Championship title winner Timur Timerzyanov at his father's team to enter the inaugural season of World RX.

Hansen took one win and a further three podium finishes in the 2014 FIA World Rallycross Championship season and would finish the year with 199 points and fourth place in the championship standings while Timerzyanov finished in seventh with one podium.

For the 2015 season, it was announced<ref>{{cite news|last1=Pettit|first1=Vince|title=Team Peugeot-Hansen Announce Hansen and Jeanney for 2015 Season|url=http://www.thecheckeredflag.co.uk/2015/04/team-peugeot-hansen-announce-hansen-and-jeanney-for-2015-season/|accessdate=9 April 2015|publisher=theCheckeredFlag.co.uk|date=9 April 2015}}</ref> that he would be driving alongside Davy Jeanney for the Team Peugeot-Hansen team in their new Peugeot 208 WRX. Hansen took three wins on his way to second in the championship behind Petter Solberg.

For 2016, Hansen partnered with nine-time WRC champion Sébastien Loeb at Hansen Motorsport. Jeanney moved to the team's second outfit Peugeot Hansen Academy, alongside Timmy's younger brother Kevin. He won a race and collected six podiums, which put him sixth in the overall standings.
