Good news for fans of motorsport nostalgia. Jenson Button has put his name behind a new racing team, and its name and livery recall high points in British racing. Hurrah! You"ll note the car is a Honda NSX, and that its livery harks unsubtly back to the Brawn GP car in which Button won the Formula One World Championship in 2009. Then there"s the team name: Jenson Team Rocket RJN. RJN is the team Jenson"s joining, and it possesses a vast CV covering Dakar, GT3 and GT4 among other motorsport disciplines. Team Rocket, meanwhile, is a nod to Rocket Motorsport, an outfit run by Jenson"s father, John Button, with 11 junior karting championships to its name.
