2019
In 2019, Edgar made his car racing debut in the Italian F4 Championship, driving for Jenzer Motorsport, whilst also competing in selected rounds of the ADAC Formula 4 Championship as a guest driver.[4] He scored two podiums, namely a second-place finish at Imola and third at Mugello. Edgar scored a further two pole positions and two fastest laps, and with 97 points the Red Bull Junior finished 10th in the standings.
2020
Edgar would continue to race in both the Italian and German Formula 4 Championships, however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic he would only compete part-time in the former. He signed for Van Amersfoort Racing, partnering fellow Red Bull Junior Team member Jak Crawford. The British driver would end up winning the ADAC Formula 4 Championship with a gap of just two points to Crawford, while in the Italian Championship he would finish fourth, winning at Imola and the season finale in Vallelunga, despite having missed two race weekends.[5][6]

2023
Edgar remained in Formula 3 for the 2023 season, this time moving to MP Motorsport after a successful test.[25] However, much as the Briton had hoped to start the season off strongly, he was only able to collect two points during the first four rounds of 2023.[26] Despite persistent qualifying struggles, Edgar would eventually return to the top ten, finishing fifth and sixth in Austria.[27] More top-ten finishes came in the subsequent two events, with a highlight being fourth during the Spa sprint race, before Edgar managed to take his maiden victory in the category at Monza, managing to stay in the lead even after a last-lap safety car restart.[28] He finished the year in 13th position overall, being beaten by teammate Colapinto, who ended up fourth.[29]
Formula One
In September 2017, Edgar was named as one of four new signings to the Red Bull Junior Team, alongside Dennis Hauger, Jack Doohan and Harry Thompson.[30] However at the start of 2023, Edgar was announced to be leaving the junior team.[31]
Formula E
In April 2023, Edgar was invited to take part in the Formula E Berlin rookie test with Envision Racing.[32][33] He would again partake in the Berlin rookie test the following year, but would be drive for DS Penske.[34]
