Jenson Button has teamed up with championship-winning GT outfit RJN Motorsport to enter a Honda NSX GT3 Evo in the 2019 Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup Silver Category.
The name of the new team - Jenson Team Rocket RJN - is a nod by the 2009 F1 world champion to his late father John Button who founded the Rocket Motorsport team in karting that won many British championships and promoted not only Jenson's talent, but also the skills of Lewis Hamilton.
"It’s great to be a part of this exciting new chapter with RJN and to bring the Rocket name back into racing," said Button.
"I’m sure a number of current drivers remember Rocket from back in their karting days and I hope we can use this platform to help with new young talent in GT and endurance racing.
"As a Honda Ambassador, I’m pleased to be a part of something that brings the Honda NSX to the Blancpain GT Series and I’m looking forward to seeing this project evolve."
The Honda's livery is evidently inspired by the 2009 color-scheme of Button's championship-winning Brawn GP car. A good omen.
