An all-star Garage 56 line-up at the centenary Le Mans 24 Hours will contain the 2009 F1 World Champion, as NASCAR crosses onto a global stage 👀
Jenson Button will take part in the centenary running of Le Mans this year, as part of the Garage 56 line-up alongside NASCAR legend Jimmie Johnson and former Le Mans winner Mike Rockenfeller.
Button will be taking the wheel of a modified Next Gen Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 as part of the Garage 56 entry, which is set aside by the Automobile Club de l’Ouest each year for Le Mans to showcase the “technology of tomorrow and beyond”, be it through electrification, alternative fuels or otherwise. The driver line-up was announced with a press conference ahead of the Rolex 24 at Daytona, and he spoke of his excitement at the prospect of taking part.
“So no, it’s really special to be here. And yeah, seriously, I’ve always thought of myself as a racing driver and I finished my F1 career and I looked for new challenges, and this is definitely an exciting challenge to work alongside these two.
