About Carl Fogarty
Carl George Fogarty (born 1 July 1965), often known as Foggy, is an English former motorcycle racer. With four World Superbike titles (1994, 1995, 1998 and 1999), he is one of the most successful superbike racers of all time. He also holds the fourth highest number of race wins at 59. He is the son of former motorcycle racer George Fogarty. In 2011, Fogarty was named a FIM Legend for his motorcycling achievements. Known for his high corner speed riding style and aggressive competitiveness, Fogarty's greatest success came with the factory Ducati team. Fogarty helped to develop the Petronas FP1 racing motorcycle in the early 2000s after his retirement in 2000. Fogarty won the 14th series of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in 2014 and was crowned 'King of the Jungle'. Fogarty was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 1998 New Year Honours. Winning six of the first eight races in 1995 helped Fogarty seal that title with 5 of the 24 races to spare, and he clinched it with three races remaining in 1999. Fogarty's first victory in any form of racing at Brands Hatch did not come until 1995.
