Jonny Edgar (born 13 February 2004) is a British racing driver racing in the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship with TF Sport. He previously competed in the 2024 European Le Mans Series for AO by TF. Alongside his teammates Louis Delétraz and Robert Kubica, he is the reigning champion in ELMS, competing in the LMP2 class. A race winner in the FIA Formula 3 Championship, he was also the 2020 ADAC Formula 4 champion.{{cite web|url=https://www.motorsport.com/fia-f3/news/jonny-edgar-the-red-bull-protege-battling-back-after-illness-struck/10355181/|title=Jonny Edgar: The Red Bull protege battling back after illness struck|date=20 August 2022 |publisher=motorsport.com|access-date=20 August 2022}} Edgar is a former member of the Red Bull Junior Team.
Early career

Born in Whitehaven, Edgar started his career in 2012, being in the fourth generation of Edgars to practice motor racing.{{cite web|url=https://www.redbull.com/int-en/juniorteam/drivers/athlete-profile-jonny-edgar|title=Athlete Profile Jonny Edgar|website=Red Bull |date=29 December 2020|access-date=29 December 2020}} Edgar began his karting career with Fusion Motorsport in Britain, finishing second in the Super 1 National Championship just three years after his debut. He also won the SKUSA SuperNationals that year, driving for Team Benik. His karting highlight came in 2017, when he won the CIK-FIA European Championship in the OKJ-category on his first attempt, having beaten the likes of Hadrien David, Zane Maloney and Jack Doohan. In Edgar's final year of karting he managed to finish third in the WSK Super Master Series, having remained with Forza Racing.

In 2019, Edgar made his car racing debut in the Italian F4 Championship, driving for Jenzer Motorsport, whilst also competing in selected rounds of the ADAC Formula 4 Championship as a guest driver.{{cite web|url=https://formulascout.com/jonny-edgar-steps-up-to-formula-4-with-red-bull-and-jenzer-motorsport/47152|title=Jonny Edgar steps up to Formula 4 with Red Bull and Jenzer Motorsport|date=21 December 2018|access-date=29 December 2020}} He scored two podiums, namely a second-place finish at Imola and third at Mugello. Edgar scored a further two pole positions and two fastest laps, and with 97 points the Red Bull Junior finished 10th in the standings.

Edgar would continue to race in both the Italian and German Formula 4 Championships, however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic he would only compete part-time in the former. He signed for Van Amersfoort Racing, partnering fellow Red Bull Junior Team member Jak Crawford. The British driver would end up winning the ADAC Formula 4 Championship with a gap of just two points to Crawford, while in the Italian Championship he would finish fourth, winning at Imola and the season finale in Vallelunga, despite having missed two race weekends.{{Cite web |last=Series |first=F1 Feeder |date=12 November 2020 |title=The Battle of the Bulls: how Jonny Edgar won the 2020 ADAC F4 title |url=https://f1feederseries.com/2020/11/12/how-jonny-edgar-won-2020-adac-f4/ |access-date=27 August 2022 |website=F1 Feeder Series |language=en}}{{Cite web |title=Vallelunga race 3: Edgar wins; Minì, Pizzi and Beganovic for the championship |url=https://www.kartxpress.com/ReadMore/vallelunga-race-3-edgar-wins-min236-pizzi-and-beganovic-for-the-championship |access-date=7 November 2022 |website=KartXpress |language=en-US}}

In October 2020 Edgar completed the first post-season test at Catalunya, running for MP Motorsport.{{cite web|url=https://www.fiaformula3.com/Latest/1adVEb0Qc7KV681beoa5dt/fia-formula-3-returns-to-action-for-barcelona-post-season-test|title=FIA Formula 3 returns to action for Barcelona post-season test|date=4 October 2020|access-date=29 December 2020}} Later that month, the Dutch outfit once again fielded Edgar in the second post-season test at Jerez.{{cite web|url=https://www.fiaformula3.com/Latest/3bm3NsAQejP2mDGW7e5bnH/fia-formula-3-back-on-track-in-jerez-for-final-post-season-test-of-2020|title=FIA Formula 3 back on track in Jerez for final post-season test of 2020|date=26 October 2020|access-date=29 December 2020}} In December, Edgar partook in a test with the Carlin team at Algarve.{{cite web|url=https://formulascout.com/fia-f3-and-euroformula-teams-continue-winter-testing-at-algarve/72539|title=FIA F3 and Euroformula teams continue winter testing at Algarve|work=FormulaScout|date=12 December 2020|access-date=6 January 2021}} At the start of January, Edgar was announced to drive for Carlin in the 2021 season, partnering Ido Cohen and Kaylen Frederick.{{Cite web |title=Red Bull Junior Edgar joins Carlin for FIA F3 – Jonny Edgar |url=https://www.jonnyedgar.co.uk/red-bull-junior-edgar-joins-carlin-for-fia-f3/ |access-date=27 August 2022 |website=www.jonnyedgar.co.uk}} He qualified 12th and thus started on pole on his debut as a result of reverse grid, and finishing that race in fifth place gave him his first points in Formula 3. The Briton's most successful round came at the Red Bull Ring where he, after only qualifying in 18th place, finished sixth, fifth and tenth in the races respectively. Unfortunately, Edgar didn't manage to score any further points after that round and ended up 18th in the standings, having scored all but two points of Carlin that year. However, in September 2021, Edgar was nominated for the Autosport BRDC Award and was selected as one of the four finalists together with Louis Foster, Ollie Bearman and eventual winner Zak O'Sullivan.{{cite web|url=http://www.brdc.co.uk/Four-Finalists-Selected-for-2021-Aston-Martin-Autosport-BRDC-Award|title=FOUR FINALISTS SELECTED FOR 2021 ASTON MARTIN AUTOSPORT BRDC AWARD|work=British Racing Drivers' Club|date=30 September 2021|accessdate=7 February 2022}}{{Cite web |last=awards.autosport.com |title=Young Driver {{!}} Autosport Awards |url=https://www.autosportawards.com/young-drivers |access-date=12 August 2022 |website=awards.autosport.com |language=en}}

In November 2021, Edgar switched to reigning team champions Trident for the post-season test at Catalunya, driving alongside Roman Staněk and rookie Zane Maloney.{{Cite web |title=FIA Formula 3 returns to action with post-season testing in Valencia |url=https://www.fiaformula3.com/ |access-date=27 August 2022 |website=FIAFormula3® - The Official F3® Website |language=en}} After further testing during the winter, Edgar was confirmed with the Italian outfit in January for the 2022 season.{{cite web|url=https://www.fiaformula3.com/Latest/10mMbO3wOmCckyfcm2tbbk/edgar-switches-to-trident-for-second-season-in-f3-1|title=Edgar switches to Trident for second season in F3|date=14 January 2022|accessdate=14 January 2022}} Having been picked as one of the title favourites, it was a surprise when Edgar finished outside of the top ten in both races of the opening round. However, he later revealed that he had been diagnosed with Crohn's disease, which caused major weight loss during the winter and made driving immensely difficult.{{cite web|url=https://www.fiaformula3.com/Latest/3kYAQWGcTEBBrtlZaeQXWM/edgar-to-be-replaced-by-rasmussen-at-trident-due-to-health-reasons|title=Edgar to be replaced by Rasmussen at Trident due to health reasons|website=FIA Formula 3|date=4 April 2022|access-date=4 April 2022}}{{Cite web |last=Series |first=F1 Feeder |date=28 April 2022 |title=Jonny Edgar on season-ending disease: 'I knew what to do, but just couldn't do it' |url=https://f1feederseries.com/2022/04/28/jonny-edgar-on-season-ending-disease-i-knew-what-to-do-but-just-couldnt-do-it/ |access-date=12 August 2022 |website=F1 Feeder Series |language=en}} Edgar opted to pull out of the championship following that round, claiming that he "[needed] to take some time out to prioritise [his] health.{{Cite web |date=2022-04-04 |title=F3: Red Bull's Edgar leaves FIA series after Crohn's diagnosis · RaceFans |url=https://www.racefans.net/2022/04/04/red-bull-junior-edgar-withdraws-from-fia-f3-series-after-crohns-diagnosis/ |access-date=2022-08-12 |website=RaceFans |language=en-GB}} After missing the rounds at Imola and Barcelona, the Brit returned for the fourth round at Silverstone, having "improved sufficiently" to return to racing.{{Cite web|title=FIA F3 Championship, Jonny Edgar to line up at Silverstone – Jonny Edgar|date=24 June 2022|url=http://www.jonnyedgar.co.uk/fia-f3-championship-jonny-edgar-to-line-up-at-silverstone/|access-date=24 June 2022|website=www.jonnyedgar.co.uk}}{{Cite web |title=Jonny Edgar returns with Trident at Silverstone |url=https://www.fiaformula3.com/ |access-date=12 August 2022 |website=FIAFormula3® - The Official F3® Website |language=en}} In the feature race, he scored his first points of the season with an eighth-place finish.{{Cite web|title=FIA F3: Silverstone, Rd.4|date=3 July 2022|url=http://www.jonnyedgar.co.uk/fia-f3-silverstone-rd-4/|access-date=31 July 2022|website=jonnyedgar.co.uk}} He would continue his points-scoring form into the following round in Austria, where he ended up seventh in the sprint race, however a collision caused by Caio Collet at the Safety car restart in the feature race prevented another points finish. A scoreless round at Budapest came next, although Edgar would finish off the season in a positive manner, scoring points in all of the remaining six races, being the only driver to manage this feat.{{Cite web |last=McClure |first=Michael |date=19 September 2022 |title=Ultimatums and uncertainty: FIA F3 drivers reflect on the season and discuss plans for next year |url=https://f1feederseries.com/2022/09/19/ultimatums-and-uncertainty-fia-f3-drivers-reflect-on-the-season-and-discuss-plans-for-next-year/ |access-date=20 September 2022 |website=F1 Feeder Series |language=en}} Edgar ended up twelfth in the standings, having helped Trident to the runner-up spot in the teams' championship and become the highest placed driver to have missed at least two rounds.
