Jenson Button will make his historic racing debut at this year’s Goodwood Revival, on 17-19 September, and he is doing so in serious style.
The 2009 Formula One drivers’ champion will contest two races.
On the meeting’s opening day he will share a Jaguar E-type with Alex Buncombe in the Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy. Previously run as the Kinrara Trophy since 2016, this is when early ’60s GTs race into the sunset.
Then on the Sunday afternoon, Button and Buncombe will pair up once again, this time in a 1963 AC Cobra, for the prestigious, one-hour Royal Automobile Club TT Celebration.
Their steed was originally a factory-prepared racer for Shelby American, now run by DK Engineering.
