One of many big name drivers to compete in the most competitive Le Mans field ever, Jenson Button and the J🍨ota Porsche team were strong throughout as they secured ninth place overall.

The #38 Hertz Jota car sufferไed a poor qualifying practice earlier in the week before making early progress in the race.

The same was true for the #12 Hertz Jota Porsche which also wen𒈔t on the attack in the opening stages.

Button,🌞 a Formula🔯 1 world champion with Brawn in 2009, was last of the team’s three drivers to get into the car, doing so as the evening drew closer.

Button’s pace in the Posche was very strong, as was 🥃the case for his teammates as they managed to remain on the lead ꦰlap until the checkered flag dropped.

Had it not been for a drive through penalty late in the race𒈔, caused by Oliver Rasmussen due to excessive track limits, the #38 car could have fo🤪ught with it’s sister car the #12 for P8.

Button first competed at Le Mans in 2023🅺, driving an Innovative car for the Hendrick Motorsports team.

2024 was Button’s first experience in the Hypercar class, and his top💝 ten result was also his first at th❀e historic race.
