Johnathan Hoggard (born 15 November 2000 in Spalding) is a British race car driver who most recently participated in the FIA Formula 3 Championship representing Jenzer Motorsport.
He claimed second place in the 2019 BRDC British Formula 3 Championship and achieved third overall in the British F4 during 2018. In 2019, Hoggard was honored with the Aston Martin Autosport BRDC Award.
Karting
Starting his karting journey in the United Kingdom at age 13, Hoggard secured several championships in 2016. These included victories in the Max Challenge Senior Rotax and BNL Senior Rotax Kick-Off events held in Belgium, as well as earning the title of MSA British Junior Karting Champion that same year.
British F4
Building on his karting achievements, Hoggard joined Fortec Motorsport midway through the 2017 British F4 season. He registered his initial points at Snetterton by finishing tenth and reached his first podium with a third-place finish during the penultimate race at Silverstone. In the following year, competing full-time with Fortec, he amassed eight wins alongside two further podiums, concluding the season third overall with a total of 339 points behind Kiern Jewiss and Ayrton Simmons.
British F3
Following his strong performance in British F4, Hoggard competed for Fortec in the 2019 British F3 campaign. A collision with competitor Clément Novalak during the final round resulted in both drivers finishing lower than expected—Hoggard placed 15th and Novalak 12th—enabling Novalak to clinch the championship. Despite winning the final race, Hoggard ended the season 23 points adrift with 482 points and seven victories, the highest number on the grid. His impressive results earned him the Sunoco Whelen Challenge award and an opportunity to race at the 2020 24 Hours of Daytona with Precision Performance Motorsports.
Aston Martin Autosport BRDC Young Driver
In November 2019, Hoggard was shortlisted for the Aston Martin Autosport BRDC Young Driver alongside contenders such as Enaam Ahmed, Jamie Chadwick, and Ayrton Simmons. He ultimately won this accolade, receiving £200,000 and a test drive in a Formula One car, which significantly enhanced both his recognition and financial backing.
Daytona and Formula Renault
Hoggard launched his 2020 season by competing in the 2020 24 Hours of Daytona with Precision Performance Motorsports, sharing a Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evo with teammates Brandon Gdovic, Mark Kvamme, and Eric Lux. The team completed 608 laps before retiring due to gearbox complications.
Initially scheduled to participate in both the 2020 Euroformula Open Championship with Fortec Motorsport and the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia with Absolute Racing, these plans were disrupted as both series were canceled or withdrawn amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Subsequently, he joined French outfit R-ace GP for a round of the 2020 Formula Renault Eurocup at Imola, stepping in for Kush Maini who withdrew due to pandemic-related financial constraints. Although Hoggard retired from both races, he was classified eighteenth in the second event.
Formula 3
After conducting tests with multiple teams, Hoggard signed with Jenzer Motorsport for the 2021 FIA Formula 3 Championship, taking over from Pierre-Louis Chovet following the opening round. He earned his first championship point during the second sprint race held in Austria. Post-season testing with Hitech Grand Prix did not result in securing a seat for the subsequent 2022 season.
Formula One
After securing the 2019 Aston Martin Autosport BRDC Young Driver accolade, Hoggard took part in a singular Formula One trial with Red Bull Racing at Silverstone in October 2020.
Formula E
Following a three-year break from competitive racing, Hoggard was chosen by Envision Racing to compete in the Formula E Berlin rookie test held at the Tempelhof Airport Street Circuit.
