After a long karting career spanning between 1986 and 1993 Larsson debuted in single seaters in 1994. Larsson dominated the Swedish Formula Ford Junior category winning eight out of ten races. At eighteen years old Larsson debuted in the Barber Dodge Pro Series in the United States of America. In his first season the young Swede won the race at Texas World Speedway and scored another three podium finishes. These good results placed him fifth in the championship standings.
