Jenson Button has sampled an eclectic mix of racing series in the past few years since his last full-time racing programme in Super GT concluded in 2019.
Now 43, the 2009 Formula 1 world champion had a disappointing British GT cameo at Silverstone in 2020 as hidden glitches dogged his McLaren 720S GT3. He then made a one-off appearance for his own JBXE team in the inaugural round of the all-electric Extreme E series in 2021, continued the off-road theme by entering two Nitro RallyCross rounds in 2022 and has made three road course appearances in this year’s NASCAR Cup Series alongside a return to the Le Mans 24 Hours in a modified Chevrolet Camaro Cup car.
