Career
Jöns began his racing career in 2003, racing in Formula König.[1] After spending two seasons in the series,[2] 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.[3] In 2007, Jöns made his debut at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring,[4] which he won a year later in the V6 class for Sartorius Team Black Falcon.[5]
In 2009, Jöns remained with Black Falcon to mainly race in the SEAT Leon Supercopa Germany,[6] taking four wins and securing runner-up honours in points,[7] as well as winning the VLN Series overall title with the team's BMW 325i.[8] Continuing with the German team for 2010, Jöns primarily raced with them in the VLN Series,[9] as well as racing part-time in the FIA GT3 European Championship.[10] 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.[11]

Continuing in GT3 competition for the following year, Jöns joined Audi-affiliated Abt Sportsline to race in ADAC GT Masters.[12] In his first season in the series, Jöns scored four podiums, including three second-place finishes, en route to a seventh-place points finish.[13] A part-time campaign in the series then ensued in 2012 with the same team,[14] 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.[15] Returning to full-time ADAC GT Masters competition in 2013 with Abt,[16] Jöns stood on the podium four times, taking a best result of second twice, as he ended the year ninth in points.[17]
Another part-time season then followed in 2014 for Abt,[18] in which Jöns scored a lone podium at Zandvoort,[19] 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.[20][21] Jöns then remained with Abt for the 2016 ADAC GT Masters season, as the team switched to Bentley machinery.[22] 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.[23] During 2016, Jöns also finished third at the Dubai 24 Hour in Abt's Audi R8 LMS.[24]

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,[25][26] before making one-off appearances at the Nürburgring and Dubai in 2018 for Audi-aligned Mücke Motorsport.[27][28] In 2019, Jöns raced for Nissan-affiliated KCMG at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring,[29] 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.[30] Guest starts for Dörr in ADAC GT4 Germany then continued the following year,[31] a year in which Jöns also raced at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring and the NLS for Mercedes-linked GetSpeed Performance in SP9.[32] Returning to Dörr Motorsport for the 2021 ADAC GT4 Germany season,[33] 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.[34]
Following select appearances in GTC Race and GT Cup Europe for Aust Motorsport in 2022,[35] 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.[36][37] During 2023, Jöns also made a one-off return to ADAC GT Masters for Mercedes customer team Schnitzelalm Racing.[38] In 2024, Jöns won the 24 Hours of Barcelona in GT3 Pro-Am,[39] as well as finishing second in the Cup2 Pro class at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring for Scherer Sport PHX.[40] The following year, Jöns returned to the German enduro with Hyundai Motorsport, winning it in the TCR class alongside Marc Basseng and Manuel Lauck.[41]
In early 2026, Jöns partook in an official DTM pre-season test at Vallelunga, aboard HGL Racing's Audi R8 LMS Evo II.[42]
