For the third year running, 2009 World Champion Jenson Button will be there, driving three different cars on different days. Today he drives a classic Porsche 911 sports car, then he starts one of the races in the Italian Alfa Romeo Giulietta TI sedan, produced in the 1950s, but the main focus will be on the third car.

This is a unique Jaguar C-Type sports car, released seven decades ago, which once belonged to the great Argentine racer, five-time world champion Juan Manuel Fangio, but now this car belongs to Button.
