0:01:09 > 0:01:15at Crystal Palace earlier in the day.

0:01:15 > 0:01:19Next to the inspiring story of teenager Billy Monger.

0:01:19 > 0:01:23Despite losing both of his legs in an accident, he's never given up

0:01:23 > 0:01:28on his dream of becoming a racing driver.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30Hi.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33I'm Billy Monger and I'm here today to show you around by car

0:01:33 > 0:01:36that is adapted so I can hopefully race British F3 this year.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39Last year Billy lost both of his legs in a crash while racing.

0:01:39 > 0:01:42Now the 18-year-old is back behind the wheel of a single seater car.

0:01:42 > 0:01:46So how does he do it?

0:01:46 > 0:01:5012 years of my life I spent driving a certain way and now someone has

0:01:50 > 0:01:53just changed everything I learnt to drive in a different way.

0:01:53 > 0:01:55I'm getting used to it though.

0:01:55 > 0:02:02Basically the adaptations are that most of it is on the wheel now.

0:02:02 > 0:02:04The most important pedal is this side for me,

0:02:04 > 0:02:05the left-hand side of the wheel.

0:02:05 > 0:02:06I've got my fraught pedal.

0:02:06 > 0:02:08That accelerates the car and allows me to accelerate

0:02:08 > 0:02:10in straight lines and round corners.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13Every lap I do I'm learning something new about whether it is

0:02:13 > 0:02:15better to control it a certain way or not.

0:02:15 > 0:02:16I brake with my right prosthetic.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19We've got a shorter one which gives me more control over it.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22And then on the right-hand side of the steering wheel

0:02:22 > 0:02:23there are two paddles.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25The top one being up, the bottom one down.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27And then a hand clutch just to pull away.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30That's basically the controls that we've come up with and what is

0:02:30 > 0:02:31working best for me so far.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34To be honest, it's been the most calm place since my accident,

0:02:34 > 0:02:36being back behind the wheel of a racing car.

0:02:36 > 0:02:40That's where I've wanted to be since my accident and to get

0:02:40 > 0:02:42back behind the wheel, I just feel completely in control

0:02:42 > 0:02:45and just relax when I'm out there.

0:02:45 > 0:02:51It's a bit surreal but I'm sure when it comes to that first

0:02:51 > 0:02:56racing weekend in April, we'll be ready for the challenge ahead of us.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59Good luck.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01Here on Newsround, we love hearing about you, so we've travelled

0:03:01 > 0:03:04all over the country to hear some of your amazing stories.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07This week we're hearing from Edith about life on a farm and why

0:03:07 > 0:03:14she wants to be a?farmer when she grows up.?

0:03:14 > 0:03:19I read it and I'm nine years old and I live on a farm. We have horses,

0:03:19 > 0:03:24cows, chickens and we've got 1000 sheep. The worst part about living

0:03:24 > 0:03:31on a farm would be marking the animals out. It is quite hard and it

0:03:31 > 0:03:43doesn't smell very nice. And it is really far to get to the shops and

0:03:43 > 0:03:47your friends. The best thing about living on a farm is you have got

0:03:47 > 0:03:54loads of space to play on. And there are lots of animals to play with. I

0:03:54 > 0:03:59have eight other siblings. Raven, Ruben, miles and then there's me.

0:03:59 > 0:04:09Violet, Sydney, Anis, Clemmie and Nancy. There's always someone to

0:04:09 > 0:04:13play with but sometimes your brothers and sisters steal one or

0:04:13 > 0:04:18two things of yours. My main job on the farm is to feed a calf called

0:04:18 > 0:04:26Joy. She is very excitable. We bottle-feed her milk and we give her

0:04:26 > 0:04:31he and cake. My mum is my role model because I want to be like when I am

0:04:31 > 0:04:39older. I want to be a farmer when I am older.She's a good laughs.

0:04:39 > 0:04:40Finally not long now until Mother's Day.

0:04:40 > 0:04:44It's not this Sunday but next.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46So head to Newsround online, get in touch and tell

0:04:46 > 0:04:48us your special stories about your mum, grandma,

0:04:48 > 0:04:51step-mum, aunt or any other important woman in your life.

0:04:51 > 0:04:52That's it for now.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55I'm back in around half an hour.
