High Performance
About this episode

Billy Monger is an elite motorsport athlete who suffered a catastrophic accident in his Formula 4 car in 2017 where he received amputations to both of his legs.

The way Billy recovered and returned to the sport despite the huge personal challenges that lay ahead is simply remarkable. Billy has not only started competing at the same level but has also carved out a successful TV career.

Billy tells Jake and Damian the lessons he’s learnt through his life to date and how he's adjusted to life without legs.
