Career

Early career and GT4 / Ginetta series
Wrigley first came to wider attention in 2014, winning the Kumho BMW Championship. He then also competed in the Ginetta GT4 Supercup in 2014, 2015 and 2016.
His 2016 season was particularly successful: driving for Rob Boston Racing, he won the Ginetta GT4 Supercup title.[3] He achieved 9 wins, multiple podiums, several fastest laps and poles. Noteworthy achievements in 2016 was his performance at Knockhill, where he secured a hat-trick of victories, setting a new lap record in one of the races en route to his title.
Le Mans prototype debut
In 2016, Wrigley made his debut in a prototype at Le Mans: specifically, the V de V Championship Four Hours of Le Mans, driving a Ginetta G57 prototype for Team LNT, alongside Bradley Ellis and Andrew Cummings. In that race, they qualified 4th overall around the Bugatti Circuit at Le Mans. During the first two hours they were in contention for a podium; however, a gearbox problem dropped them back, and they finished 9th overall and second among the G57 prototypes on track.
Porsche Carrera Cup GB
After his success in GT4 with Ginetta, Wrigley progressed to Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain in 2017 with the In2Racing team. In 2018, racing for JTR, he achieved 3rd place in the championship standings. During that season he also notched several wins.
British GT Championship
Wrigley returned to full-season motorsport in British GT in 2023, racing in the GT4 class, and partnering with Ian Gough in RACE LAB. He secured two class wins in that season, and finished 3rd in the GT4 standings overall. For 2024, Wrigley again teamed with Ian Gough, this time with Century Motorsport, driving a BMW M4 in the GT4 Pro/Am category.
Racing record
According to DriverDB, Wrigley has started over 120 races, with 21 wins and 47 podiums in those appearances as of late 2024. He has also achieved several fastest laps and pole positions.
