Monger drives again with help from Team BRIT
Teenage racing driver Billy Monger, who suffered extreme injuries in a recent British Formula 4 race at Donington Park that forced the amputation of both his legs below the knees, joined Team BRIT, which prepares specially equipped cars for injured servicemen, at a specially arranged track day at Britain's Brands Hatch circuit.
Team BRIT invited Monger to join them at Brands Hatch to explain the team's story and goal, and to allow him to test its world leading hand control technology.
Monger hopes to compete at Le Mans in the future
, a dream shared with the team which hopes to be the first ever all-disabled team to race in the iconic endurance event.The teen spent time the track today with the team mechanics, Team Brit founder Dave Player and driver Warren McKinlay.
"It was a real pleasure to meet Billy and his family today and to offer our support as he looks to make decisions around the next stage of his racing career," said Player. "We want to normalize disability and have developed the most advanced hand control technology that allows our drivers to compete on a level playing field.
"It was wonderful to show this to Billy, and to allow him to drive one of our cars to get a feel for the technology we have developed. I hope today has been useful in helping him back on his journey, getting him back on the track, and helping him regain his race license."
"It's been really good just to get back behind the wheel," Monger said "Massive thanks to Team BRIT for sorting out today. I can't wait to be back out there again.
"Team BRIT had two steering wheels for me to try today; I've decided which one I prefer, now it's just about perfecting my technique so that when I come back I'm up the front winning races."
