In 1994 Foggy would turn the tables on Scott Russell in the WSB Championship and finish 25 points ahead of the American to take the first of his 4 WSB Championship's with Ducati. He was also to keep the title the following year and the partnership of Fogarty and Ducati looked unbeatable until, in 1996, Foggy left for a brief and unsuccessful period with Honda and finished 4th in the Championship. In 1997 he returned to his trusted Ducati and, slowly regaining his form, finished 2nd in the championship.
In 1998 Carl received one of the highest possible recognitions for his incredible success. An MBE from Queen Elizabeth II. Carl went to Buckingham Palace to collect his award with Michaela, his father, and daughter Danielle just before the official Team Ducati tests in February and, during the ceremony, the Queen asked Carl if he enjoyed his racing. "Only when I'm winning." He answered typically!
Later that same year he did, indeed, enjoy winning. In fact he went on to score his final 2 WSB Championship victories in 1998 and 1999. With a stunning 4 World Titles in six years, the names Foggy and Ducati had been carved in the rock of racing history.
