The Race Of Champions: Button joins an already highly competitive lineup
The lineup for this 2015 edition will be impressive in London as Jenson Button has joined a group already composed of several Formula 1 drivers, both current and former, such as Vettel, Massa, and Coulthard.
Jenson Button, on the official website of The Race of Champions, which will take place on November 20 and 21, expresses his eagerness to participate for the sixth time in his career in a race that is both friendly and competitive: « I’m looking forward to being back at the Race of Champions again and racing at the former Olympic Stadium in London. It’s always a great atmosphere. We race against guys from other series and from all over the world. We learn to meet old friends and new ones from different motorsport categories. We have fun both on and off the track ».
He reflects on the atmosphere of this very special race: It’s always a lot of fun to participate, but everyone wants to put on a good show for the fans, and of course, we want to do the same. I’m looking forward to working with Alex Buncombe in this ROC Nations Cup. Now, all I can do is make sure that racing fans come there to visit the former Olympic stadium later this month to cheer us on.
The president of ROC, Frederik Johnsson, also spoke about the arrival of Jenson Button. Of course, he is pleased with the presence of another F1 World Champion: “We are thrilled to welcome Jenson back to The Race Of Champions in front of his home fans.
