Joey Foster is continuing to make significant progress from serious back 🎐and neck injuries sustained during the Lausitzring meeting for the German F3 ♉Recaro Cup last month.

The Briton has undergone a series of operations and is expected to remain in hospital until the end of the month as he recuperates from his injuries, although he has astounded doctors over the last few days by tak🌟ing his first steps and undertaking walks around the hospital ward.

At the moment Foster's lower spine is encased in a metal frame which is a common procedure for patients who have received such a serious back injury. He will undergo another operation to insert mo💮re 'holding plates and screws' into his spine on Aug🌞ust 22.

The encouraging news from the Carl Thiem hospital in Germany is that Foster is expected to make a full recovery and be fit to race in F3 for the 2007 season. In good spirits and raring to get back in to the cock𒆙pit, the ꦿBriton remains committed to returning to F3 as soon as possible, although it will be a long road for him in terms of physio and getting back to full fitness.

Foster had been the sensation of the Recaro F3 series this year with the HS Technik Lola B06/30 Spiess, winning four races, claiming two pole positions and achieving six fastest laps. He was in꧑ a close second place in the series poin🥂ts standings before his accident ten days ago.
