Carl George Fogarty MBE (born 1 July 1965), often known as Foggy, is an English former motorcycle racer and one of the most successful World Superbike racers of all time. He also holds the third highest number of race wins at 59 behind Jonathan Rea and Álvaro Bautista. He is the son of former motorcycle racer George Fogarty.[1] He retired in 2000. In 2011, Fogarty was named a FIM Legend for his motorcycling achievements.[2]

Fogarty was renowned for his high corner speed riding style, combined with an aggressive competitiveness, which brought him 59 victories and four World Superbike Championships (1994, 1995, 1998 and 1999). His greatest success came with the factory Ducati team. Fogarty helped to develop the Petronas FP1 racing motorcycle in the early 2000s.

He was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 1998 New Year Honours.[3][4]

He won the 14th series of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in 2014 and was crowned 'King of the Jungle'.[5]
