Chris Froggatt

Career

Froggatt started racing in 2017 with HR Owen in Ferrari Challenge Europe, competing in the Trofeo Pirelli Pro-Am class. He won both Silverstone races and race two at the Hungaroring, adding seven other podiums to finish third in points. The following year he returned to the series and won ten of 14 races, missing the podium only once, to secure the Trofeo Pirelli Pro-Am title with a round to spare at Barcelona. In 2018 he also made his GT3 debut with a one-off appearance in the Italian GT Championship for AF Corse at Monza, and finished second in the FIA GT Nations Cup.

Having founded Tempesta Racing two years earlier, Froggatt and his team entered both the Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup and International GT Open for their first full GT3 season in 2019, supported by AF Corse and sponsored by Sky UK. Racing a Ferrari 488 GT3 in the Pro-Am class of the former alongside Jonathan Hui, he won at Monza and took a podium at Barcelona to finish third in points. In the latter he raced with Eddie Cheever III through the first four rounds, taking a Pro-Am podium at Le Castellet before leaving the series.

That year he also made select Ferrari Challenge Europe appearances for HR Owen and represented the United Kingdom in the GT Cup discipline of the FIA Motorsport Games. In 2020, Froggatt continued with Sky – Tempesta in both the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance and Sprint Cups. In the Endurance Cup, he scored a best result of second in class at Imola and the 24 Hours of Spa, then a third-place finish at Le Castellet to secure runner-up honors in Pro-Am.

In the Sprint Cup, he won twice at Misano, both Zandvoort races, and race two at Barcelona to seal the Pro-Am title. The following year, he finished second in the GT3 Pro-Am class and third overall at the Gulf 12 Hours for Ram Racing, then won the 6 Hours of Abu Dhabi for Car Collection Motorsport. Returning to his AF Corse-run Tempesta Racing for another dual campaign, he finished 12th in the Sprint Cup's Silver standings alongside Giorgio Roda, but won at Le Castellet and took a podium at the Nürburgring to clinch the Endurance Cup Pro-Am title.

In 2022, Sky – Tempesta switched to a Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo and its Gold Cup entry was run by GruppeM Racing. Ahead of the 24 Hours of Spa, Haupt Racing Team took over running the entry, and Froggatt scored his only class podium at Spa en route to an eighth-place points finish in the Gold Cup standings. He also raced in select rounds of the British GT Championship with support from 2 Seas Motorsport, and finished third in the GT3 Pro-Am class of the Gulf 12 Hours driving a McLaren 720S GT3 with Garage 59.

He was set to represent the UK in the GT Cup of the FIA Motorsport Games but was replaced by Sam Neary after feeling unwell. Expanding the Garage 59 alliance for 2023, Froggatt switched to McLaren in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup and stayed in the British GT Championship. He scored a best result of second at Monza and the Nürburgring, plus third-place finishes at Le Castellet and the 24 Hours of Spa to clinch his maiden Bronze Cup title.

In the British GT's GT3 Silver-Am class, he won the first Donington Park race, both Snetterton races, and finished on the podium in the remaining six races to secure runner-up honors. Later that year, he and Sky – Tempesta switched back to Ferrari for the Indianapolis 8 Hours and the Gulf 12 Hours. Returning under AF Corse for 2024, he primarily raced in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup, scoring a best result of fourth three times to seal his second consecutive Bronze Cup title, earning Tempesta an invitation to the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans.

He also represented the UK in the GT Cup of the FIA Motorsport Games, winning a silver medal. In 2025, the team partnered with Dutch Ziggo Sport, and Froggatt raced an AF Corse–run Ferrari 296 GT3 in the Endurance Cup, making his 24 Hours of Le Mans debut in the LMGT3 class. He also finished second overall at the Gulf 12 Hours for AlManar by Dragon Racing and won the 12 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps driving a Porsche 911 GT3 R (992). Froggatt began 2026 with third in the Bronze class of the Bathurst 12 Hour with Arise Racing GT, before Ziggo – Tempesta partnered with Porsche and Herberth Motorsport for its eighth season in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup.
