Born on May 5, 1999, in Charlwood, Surrey, England, Billy Monger began his racing career in karting at age six, following in his father’s footsteps. He quickly demonstrated natural talent, becoming a British champion by age 10. Monger progressed through junior categories, including the Ginetta Junior Championship where he achieved two wins and seven podiums in 2015 with JHR Developments, finishing 5th overall. In 2016, he competed in the F4 British Championship with JHR Developments, securing one pole position and three podium finishes, ending the season in 12th place.
His career took a significant turn in April 2017 when he sustained critical injuries in a collision at Donington Park during an F4 British Championship race, resulting in the amputation of both his legs. Despite this life-altering event, Monger demonstrated determination to return to racing. In 2018, he re-entered competitive motorsport in the BRDC British Formula 3 Championship with Carlin, achieving four podiums. He secured his first single-seater race win at the 2019 Pau Grand Prix in the Euroformula Open Championship, also with Carlin Motorsport, finishing 9th overall with two podiums and one pole position. His ability to adapt to modified cars and continue competing at a high level earned him the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Helen Rollason Award in 2018 for outstanding achievement.
Beyond racing, Monger has developed a broadcasting career, providing analysis for Channel 4 F1 since 2019 and co-commentating for W Series. He has also been a commentator and reporter for Channel 4’s Paralympic Games coverage, inspiring others through his journey. In 2021, he completed “Billy’s Big Challenge” for Comic Relief, raising over £3 million by walking, kayaking, and cycling 140 miles. In October 2024, he completed the VinFast IRONMAN World Championship, setting a new world record for a double amputee at 14 hours, 23 minutes, and 56 seconds, becoming the youngest double ampute to complete an Ironman event.
