Carl Fogarty

Carl George Fogarty, MBE (born 1 July 1965), often known as Foggy, and the son of former motorcycle racer George Fogarty, is the most successful World Superbike racer of all time in terms of the number of championships and number of race wins.

Retired from racing since 2000, he is renowned for his high corner speed riding style, combined with an aggressive competitiveness, which netted him 59 victories and four World Superbike Championships (1994, 1995, 1998 and 1999). His greatest success came with the factory Ducati team.

He was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 1998 New Year Honours, and helped to develop the Petronas FP1 racing motorcycle campaigned in the early 2000s.

He won the fourteenth series of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in 2014.

World Superbikes

In 1991 he raced for Neil Tuxworth's Honda UK team in World Superbikes, finishing seventh overall. The team pulled out in 1992, and Fogarty nearly found himself without a ride after a promised deal failed to materialise. He did ultimately take his first WSBK win at Donington Park, and finished the championship ninth overall despite only completing a partial season.
