Jenson Button to race GT3 car with Brawn GP livery
- Nicolás Quarles van Ufford
In the upcoming season, Jenson Button will be competing in the GT World Challenge Europe, and he'll be doing so in very special colours; The Brawn GP livery!
After retiring from Formula 1, Button has been very busy, competing in LMP1 (WEC) and in Super GT. He'll be doing five endurance races with his own team in 2020, Jenson Team Rocket RJN.
The team used to run in GT3 Honda NSX cars but have now partnered up with McLaren, where Button spent seven seasons of his F1 career. The 720S GT3, the car pictured above, is seen as one of the better options available in GT3.
"The GT World Challenge championship grid gets stronger and stronger every year and the racing is amongst the best in the world," Button commented.
"We go into the season full of confidence with a team boasting huge experience and a car which has already proven itself a race winner."
