Jonny Edgar (born 13 February 2004 in Whitehaven, Cumbria, United Kingdom) is a British racing driver, who served as a test driver for Envision Racing during the 2022/23 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.[1] The fourth generation of his family to pursue a career in motorsport, Edgar's FE debut came at the 2023 Rookie Test, where the Brit shared the #37 Envision run Jaguar I-Type 6 with Jack Aitken for the day.[2]
Background[]
Edgar began his racing career in karting, notably winning the CIK-FIA European Championship in 2017 in seven seasons of karting between 2012 and 2018, with that title enough to earn Edgar a call-up to the Red Bull Junior Team.[3] In 2019 Edgar graduated to single-seaters, entering the Italian F4 Championship, finishing tenth overall while also making appearances in the ADAC F4 Championship and Spanish F4 Championship.[3] 2020 saw Edgar move to the ADAC F4 series full-time, which duly saw him crowned as Champion, alongside a run to fourth in Italian F4 with two victories.[3]
Formula Fight: 2021 - Present[]
2021 would see Edgar move up to the FIA Formula 3 Championship for the season, with the Brit's promising start to the campaign soon fading to leave him down in eighteenth in the Championship.[3] A sophomore season in FIA F3 would follow in 2022, although after a disappointing start Edgar would miss part of the season on medical grounds, later revealing he had been diagnosed with Crohn's disease after suffering from major weightloss during the winter.[3] Edgar would return to complete the 2022 season, ultimately finishing twelfth overall, before securing a third campaign in the series in 2023 after a move to MP Motorsport.[3]
Formula E History[]
Edgar got his first taste of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship during the 2022/23 season, after Envision Racing offered him a run at the 2023 Rookie Test in their #37 Jaguar I-Type 6.[1] However, after Envision withdrew the sister #16 car due to damage sustained during the 2023 Berlin E-Prix II, Edgar found himself sharing the #37 car with Jack Aitken, meaning both would complete compromised programmes in the test, with Edgar limited to running only in the afternoon.[2] As a result Edgar would find himself bottom of the table on outright fastest laps, with a technical issue also limiting him to just eleven tours of the Tempelhofring.[2]
