At just 17 years old, Billy was a rising racing driver competing in British Formula 4 when a high-speed crash at 120mph changed his life forever. The accident led to the amputation of both of his legs — but what followed was something few people thought possible. In this episode of Ride to Success, Billy shares the raw reality behind the headlines. From waking up in hospital and rebuilding his life, to returning to racing, setting world-class endurance challenges, and becoming a Formula 1 presenter. This conversation goes far beyond the crash. We explore the mindset that allowed Billy to rebuild his career, the pressure of motorsport funding, how he returned to the track just 11 months after losing his legs, and why he refuses to live with “what ifs”. Billy also reveals the moment he first believed racing was still possible, the incredible support he received from the motorsport world, and how a live speech at BBC Sports Personality of the Year unexpectedly opened the door to a career in Formula 1 broadcasting.
