JENSON BUTTON JOINS MCLAREN COMPETING IN SRO E-SPORT GT SERIES

With the SRO GT World Challenge motor racing events postponed due to the Covid-19 crisis, an online e-sports series has been devised using Assetto Corsa Competizione, the official GT World Challenge Powered by AWS racing simulation game. The five-round series features three classes competing in separate races, followed by a grand finale race featuring the top performers in each class. McLaren Automotive will be represented by 10 drivers in the SRO E-Sport GT Series, with six taking part in the Pro Series for real-world competitors and a further four in the Silver Series for invited ‘sim’ drivers who have already established their

driving credentials in simulated racing. Among the 10 drivers is the 2009 Formula 1 World Champion and former McLaren Grand Prix race-winner Jenson Button. Button raced for McLaren for seven seasons – finishing the 2011 season as runner-up – before making a one-off final appearance in the 2017 Monaco Grand Prix. With this experience under his belt, Button is turning to virtual GT racing, mirroring his real-life position as a team owner in the GT competition which sees Jenson Team Rocket RJN running a McLaren 720S GT3. ✤
