After a youth in karting, Krohn moved to cars in the Swedish Junior Touring Car Championship in 2006. In 2007, he primarily raced in Benelux Formula Ford series but made a few appearances in other Formula Ford series and participated in the Formula Ford Festival, finishing eleventh in Duratec class.
