In 2011 Monje stayed in the European F3 Open and competed for Drivex . A fifth position was his best result and he finished the season in 15th place overall. He also took part in a long-distance race.

In 2012 Monje left formula racing and switched to touring car racing. He should start for SUNRED Engineering in the World Touring Car Championship (WTCC). Since there were not enough current engines for the SEAT León , it initially started with a SUNRED 1.6T engine and only competed in one event. In addition, Monje took part in the European Touring Car Cup (ETC-Cup) for SUNRED . He won six out of eight races and won the Super 2000 ranking. In 2013 Monje finally got a cockpit in the WTCC again. For Campos Racing he took part in eleven of twelve events. As in the previous year, Monje finished the season in 24th place overall.
