Career

Karting

Monrás began his motorsport career in karting back in 2002. In 2007, he was runner-up of the European KF2 Championship behind championship winner Will Stevens. He also made his debut in single-seaters in 2007, racing in Master Junior Formula.[citation needed]

Formula Renault

Monrás contested the Formula Renault 2.0 Italia Winter Series at the end of the 2007 season, where he was thirteenth. Monrás moved up to the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 and Formula Renault 2.0 West European Cup for the 2008 season, with the Hitech Junior Team. He finished 21st in the Eurocup standings, taking two points-scoring positions in fourteen races.[1] In the West European Cup, he took eighth place in the championship, taking five points scoring positions in fifteen races, including a podium in the final race of the season at Valencia.[2]

The following season, Monrás competed in both the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 and Formula Renault 2.0 West European Cup championships for SG Formula. He finished fifth in the Eurocup standings, taking eleven points-scoring positions in fourteen races, including podiums at Barcelona and two at Hungaroring.[3] In the West European Cup, he took fourth place in the championship, scoring seven podium places.[4]

GP3 Series

2010 saw Monrás move to the GP3 Series, competing for MW Arden, the team that is backed by Formula One Red Bull Racing's driver Mark Webber. He joined Michael Christensen at the team.[5]

Formula Two

In 2011, Monrás moved again to the FIA Formula Two Championship.[6] He achieved two podiums including one win at his first race weekend at Silverstone,[7] taking pole position in the same race he won. He finished the championship in fourth.

Due to funding issues, Monrás was unable to compete in single-seaters in 2012 and sampled GT's in the Blancpain Endurance Series and tested with Audi Sport and Atech GP, but a full-time seat didn't materialise. Monrás transitioned into driver coaching and team management with the AV Formula team owned by his manager, Adrián Vallés – and left motorsport in 2017 and currently works in Real Estate.[8]
