Jonny Edgar's rise from karting to Corvette LMGT3 title

Jonny Edgar has emerged as one of the brightest prospects in the World Endurance Championship after winning the LMGT3 title with TF Sport in 2026. A fourth-generation racer, the Briton began karting at eight and joined the Red Bull junior programme as expectations grew. He won the 2020 ADAC F4 championship, ahead of fellow Red Bull junior Jak Crawford and current Haas Formula 1 driver Oliver Bearman.

His path to sportscar success was not straightforward. Edgar moved up to Formula 3, where a difficult first season with Carlin was followed by a serious illness in 2022. Diagnosed with Crohn's disease, he lost 17kg and withdrew from the championship to focus on treatment. He recovered in time to return to racing later that season, before a third year in F3 with MP Motorsport brought a feature race win at Monza.

Edgar then moved to sportscar racing in 2024, driving a Ligier JS P217. He finished fourth in class at the Sebring 12 Hours alongside Joao Barbosa and Lance Willsey, and his results in the European Le Mans Series also showed his speed.
