Jenson Button initially felt that joining the NASCAR entry for LeMans24 was a 'mistake', but he now 'absolutely loves' driving the car.
Formula 1 champion Jenson Button admits he briefly thought joining the NASCAR Garage 56 Le Mans programme was the"biggest mistake of my life" but now"loves" driving the car.
"It's funny because the first time I drove this car was at Daytona and, for the first five laps, I thought it was the biggest mistake of my life signing up to this!" he said. "In Porsche Curves, you go from the first part to the second part and you see the body roll through there and also you see how aggressive we are. Through the corners there's oversteer, over kerbs and it's a really fun car."Rockenfeller echoed Button's sentiments and says the ZL1 does not compare to anything else he's previously driven.
