Button will start in British GT in a McLaren
After competing successfully in Super GT (titled in 2018 with Honda), Jenson Button continues to enjoy Grand Touring. The world champion of Formula 1 2009 will indeed contest its first British GT race on November 7 and 8 during the final at Silverstone in a three-hour race.

The quest for a steering wheel was not very complicated; the Englishman will initiate a second McLaren 720S in his own team, Jenson Team Rocket RJN and will be teamed up with his friend (and co-owner) Chris Buncombe in the Pro-Am class.
“I’m going to experience a GT3 race for the first time and I can’t wait”, rejoices the 40-year-old pilot. “Jenson and I had been discussing the idea of sharing a car for an event for a while”, confirms Chris Buncombe.
