Double amputee Billy Monger has completed a track test with British F3 outf🌜it Carlin at Oulton Pa꧅rk as he targets a return to single-seater racing.

The 18-year-old got behind the wheel of Carlin’s British F3 car at the Cheshire circuit in what was his first time driving a single-seater since his horrific high-speed crash during a British F4 race at Doning🍸ton Pa𓆉rk in April last year. 

Monger had one 💫leg amputated above the knee and the other below after hitting a stationary car, but his determination to return to competitive racing has caught the admiration of the motorsport world, and propelled a fundraising campaign that was supported by Formula 1 stars including reigning world champion Lewis Hamilton. 

His positive attitude and spirit has also 🅷been recognised by the Laureus sporting awards, with the teenager up for the ‘best sporting mo﷽ment of the year’ award. 

Monger completed a remarkable recovery to drive a car again less than three months after his accident, while he has also undergone extensive simulator tests 𓄧in preparation for a full-time return to racing.

Having gained support from the Motor Sports Association, Monger has also successfully helped to overturn an FIA rule that had previouslyꦡ prevented disabled drivers from co🐻mpeting in international single-seater categories. 

Monger recently announced his intentions to contest a single-seater championship - most likely British F3 - in 2018, and his Carlin test represents a significaওnt milestone in his amb﷽itions.
