Blomqvist also competes in the FIA World Endurance Championship with United Autosports in the LMP2 category. Blomqvist won the 2022 and 2023 24 Hours of Daytona with Meyer Shank and the 2018 24 Hours of Spa with . He is the son of 1984 Swedish World Rally Champion, .

Early career
Junior career
Blomqvist began his racing career in , in which he competed between 2003 and 2008, winning eight Championship titles in New Zealand. In 2009, at the age of fifteen, he left his home in New Zealand and moved to Europe to compete in the Formula Renault 2.0 Sweden. The driver took five podium finishes and one victory from 14 races, finishing third in the standings. He also finished third in the Formula Renault NEZ Championship. At the end of the season, having to first apply for special permission to race as he was still only 15 years old, he competed in two of the four races of the Formula Renault UK Winter Series winning both of the races at the Rockingham Motor Speedway.

In 2010, he competed in the full Formula Renault UK season racing for Fortec Motorsport, taking twelve podiums on his way to becoming the youngest ever champion in the series' history at the age of 16, beating the record set by who won the Championship aged 18.

November 2010 saw Blomqvist compete in the iconic Macau Grand Prix. Driving for Eurointernational he secured third place with fastest lap time in the Formula BMW Pacific race.

In December 2010, Blomqvist was a McLaren Autosport BRDC Award finalist as well as receiving the British Club Driver of the Year award. At the British Racing Drivers' Club awards he received the award for the most outstanding performance by a rising star.

On 30 November 2011, Blomqvist signed with MB Partners Ltd, owned by former F1 driver . Blomqvist was again a McLaren Autosport BRDC Award finalist at the end of 2011.

In February 2012, Blomqvist joined the select group of young talent on the McLaren Driver Development Programme.

In the same month, Blomqvist was one of six finalists in a large selection process as looked for two new junior drivers who would also be contesting the Porsche Carrera Cup. Despite the accolade of being chosen as one of the drivers, Blomqvist elected to stay in single-seaters and a few weeks later, having been selected as a European F3 VW Factory Driver, he signed with motorsport to contest the F3 Euroseries.

Formula 3 (2010–2014)
Because of his outstanding success at Macau in 2010, 2011 saw Blomqvist competing in German F3 with Performance Racing. Despite competing against stronger teams, he was third in the Championship, when at the start of the race at EuroSpeedway Lausitz he was hit by another car and propelled into a wall, prematurely ending his season and breaking his back at the same time. It would require several months of recuperation before Blomqvist was fit to drive again.

Nonetheless, Eurointernational invited Blomqvist to compete in the 2012 German F3 Championship, fitting the races around his F3 Euroseries schedule. Despite competing in only five rounds due to his prior injury, Blomqvist was 5th in the Championship having achieved an impressive ten podiums, including five wins, and led by sixteen points for these rounds.

Blomqvist finished the season in seventh place for both the F3 Euroseries and the FIA European Formula 3 Championship, having competed with a team new to Formula 3. He entered the Macau F3 street circuit race in November 2012 where he and his team, Eurointernational, used a brand new car, but with no time to test beforehand, the results were disappointing.

At the end of 2012, Blomqvist was selected to join the Red Bull Junior Team and competed in the newly formed FIA European Formula 3 Championship this year — billed as "the most competitive young talent series on the planet" – where he joined his former team EuroInternational as their lone driver for the 2013 season. Despite the team being new to Formula 3, Blomqvist finished the season in seventh place and EuroInternational finished 5th in the Team Championship. Quite an achievement considering all their points were harvested by just one driver, Blomqvist, whereas the teams that finished ahead each had several drivers. In November 2013, Blomqvist entered the Macau Grand Prix, this time driving for his former team, Fortec Motorsport. The Red Bull Junior driver was back on pace and looking at starting on pole. However, in the dying minutes of the session Blomqvist was unable to get another clear lap, losing pole position and ending up sixth. During the qualifying race, the unfamiliar starting procedure of the Fortec car caused him to stall at the start. While waiting to be restarted, a distracted , who had also momentarily stalled, drove straight into the back of him, ending Blomqvist's day and causing him to start at the back of the grid for the final race. Blomqvist then went on to have a great race the following day. He charged his way through the 28-car field, and when the checkered flag was shown fifteen laps later, Blomqvist came home in eighth place.

For 2014, Blomqvist again competed in the European Formula 3 Championship driving for Carlin, along with his teammates, Antonio Giovinazzi and , driving under a new banner of Jagonya Ayam with Carlin in their Dallara-Volkswagens. After a thrilling season racing with the cream of junior motorsport's talent, Blomqvist managed to finish second in the championship, despite incurring engine change penalties.

In November 2014, Blomqvist entered the Macau Grand Prix driving his Jagonya Ayam with Carlin car. Despite being one of the quickest drivers on the track in practice and qualifying, Blomqvist's luck ran out within the first lap of the Grand Prix. After making a great start from third, Blomqvist was challenging for the lead which he took after made a mistake a few corners in. As Blomqvist took the corner, made an over optimistic move from behind, and the two collided. Although Ocon had damaged his suspension at San Francisco Bend, he managed to go on, but a powerless Blomqvist was driven into the barriers, ending his race. Due to the narrow track there was a multiple car pile-up behind, with getting launched first over and then Blomqvist, before landing on a wall at the side of the track. No one was hurt in the chaos, and after the race was restarted went on to become the 2014 winner.
