Fact fans, get ready to add another name to the long list of current and former F1 drivers who"ve raced in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. 2009 World Champion Jenson Button will compete in the full "Super Season" of the WEC for Russian privateers SMP Racing, who contest the non-hybrid sub-division of the LMP1 category. This means Jenson won"t be in direct competition with former teammate Fernando Alonso, who unlike Button will have hybrid power. Button will continue to compete in Japan"s Super GT series alongside the WEC, skipping next week"s WEC season-opener at Spa to compete in its second-round. So Le Mans will be his first race. Talk about diving in at the deep end, Jenson.
