Career

Bäckman began karting in 2006, competing until 2018.[2] In his karting career, Bäckman most notably won the Rotax International Open in 2015 and 2016 in the DD2 class,[3] as well as finishing second in the RMC Grand Finals in 2015.[4]

Moving to cars in 2017, Bäckman competed in the RX2 International Series,[5] before switching to TCR competition the following year by joining WestCoast Racing in both TCR Scandinavia and TCR UK.[6][7] Scoring just eight points in the former, Bäckman found more success in the latter, scoring a lone win at Croft and five more podiums to secure third in points.[8] During 2018, Bäckman also made one-off appearances in TCR Europe and TCR Ibérico for the same team.[9]

Moving to TCR Europe full-time in 2019, Bäckman joined Target Competition for his second season in the category.[10] In his maiden season in the series, Bäckman scored a lone win at Barcelona and a third-place finish at Spa as he ended the year fourth in points.[11] During 2019, Bäckman also made one-off appearances in TCR Germany and TCR Ibérico for the same team.[12] Remaining with Target for the following year's TCR Europe season,[13] Bäckman took a lone win at Barcelona en route to a sixth-place points finish.[14] During 2020, Bäckman also raced with the team in one-off appearances in both TCR Germany and TCR Ibérico.[15] Continuing with Target to race in the World Touring Car Cup in 2021,[16] Bäckman competed in the first four rounds, scoring a lone point at Algarve, before leaving the team and the series.[17] Following that, Bäckman made a one-off appearance in the STCC TCR Scandinavia Touring Car Championship for Brink Motorsport at Mantorp Park,[18] taking a best result of fifth in race three.[19]

The following year, Bäckman joined Lestrup Racing Team to race full-time in the STCC TCR Scandinavia Touring Car Championship.[20] In his second full-time season in the series, Bäckman began the year with a win at Fällfors,[21] before taking two wins at Anderstorp and four more podiums to end the year third in points.[22][23] During 2022, Bäckman also represented Sweden in the FIA Motorsport Games Touring Car Cup,[24] as well as a one-off appearance in the 24H TCE Series at the Hockenheimring.[25] In 2023, Bäckman joined Aston Martin-linked PROsport Racing to compete in both ADAC GT4 Germany and the GT4 European Series.[26] After the first round in both series, Bäckman switched to racing one to continue in the latter, scoring a best result of 14th in race two at Barcelona.[27]
