Monger completes Carlin British F3 test outing

Double amputee Biꦐlly Monger has completed a track test with British F3 outfit Carl𒈔in at Oulton Park 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 Donington Park 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 rac🐽ing 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 b🐈y the Laureus sporting awards, with the teenager up for the ‘best sporting moment 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 exten🐷sive simulator tests in 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 previously prevented disabled 🧸drivers from comp𒈔eting in international single-seater categories. 

Monger recently announced his intentions to contest a single-seater cha🏅mpionship - most likely British F3 - in 2018, and his Carlin test represents a significant milestone in his ambitions.

for making today possible
