'It's such a fun car to drive once you get used to the weight.' - Jenson Button LeMans24 LeMansCentenary
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.Button is part of Hendrick Motorsports' all-star line-up for the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 innovative car for this year's 24 Hours, alongside seven-time NASCAR Cup champion Jimmie Johnson and 2010 Le Mans winner Mike Rockenfeller.
"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 the 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, 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.
