No update doesn't seem good. :( There was so much racing on the weekend that I haven't caught up with it all yet. British GT was a fun race, cars flying off everywhere with some good overtaking. Final race ended under the safety car after a massive shunt, both drives were ok. Cars definitely weren't though and the next round is in two weeks.

He's only 17. It's highly likely that his family don't want to release information.
 
It's not confirmed but it looks like Billy Monger has lost both lower legs. It appears that Tom Ingram has started a Just Giving page to support him and his family.

If true that's terrible. Such sad news for someone so young at the beginning of their racing career. :(
 
That is absolutely awful news! Was hoping it'd be more positive. Didn't really stand a chance though looking at that onboard. Got to be thankful to be alive.

Seems like he was a promising driver just at the s tart of his career based on seeing his previous results.
 
Posted the just giving link in the f4 page but appears no ones using that glad its already posted here though.

Racing fans like to see a bit of drama but no one wants this to happen to any driver or anyone such a shame ,bit of a freak incident very sad :(
 
You sometimes forgot how dangerous motorsport is as we have massive crashes these days and people walk away from them. Not much to say other than I feel for the lad. :(
 
Crazy when you see some huge crashes where drivers walk away. Sometimes it's just a case of all the variables stacking the wrong way.enson

That Just Giving is an incredible response. Even Jenson Button donated 15k.
