Karter Edgar moves into single-seaters in GB4
Karter Jessica Edgar will graduate into the new-for-2022 GB4 Championship with Fortec.
The 16-year-old cousin of FIA Formula 3 driver and Aston Martin Autosport BRDC Award finalist Jonny Edgar will move into single-seaters having raced karts since 2010.
She was selected to represent Team UK in the FIA Motorsport Games in 2019, and in 2020 was chosen as a member of the Motorsport UK Academy as well as being enlisted into the FIA’S ‘Girls on Track Rising Stars’ programme.
“I am really excited to be racing in the GB4 Championship and am enjoying working with the team at Fortec,” she said. “I’m looking forward to the year ahead, they are a great team and have lots of experience in helping young drivers progress from karting to car racing. I know I have a big learning curve ahead of me but want to maximise every opportunity I get.”
She becomes the second driver announced for the championship after Logan Hannah was confirmed at Graham Brunton Racing.
