Jessica Edgar graduates to car racing for the first time in 2022, following a successful karting career that started at the age of five. She was crowned as the Rowrah Club Champion in 2017, and took several race victories in the Super One category the following year on the way to fourth overall in the Mini X30 division. In 2019, she became first female to win more than one round of the LGM category, on the way to second overall, was second in the Kartmasters GP and fourth in the British Kart Championship.

She comes from a family steeped in motorsport history; her cousin is FIA F3 racer and former F4 champion Jonny Edgar, while her parents, uncle, grandparents and great grandparents have all raced competitively too.

Jessica is aiming to use GB4 as a launch pad to W Series in the future, and has completed hundreds of kilometres of testing mileage with Fortec ahead of the season.
