The Last Lap

The protagonists of one of Formula 1’s most remarkable stories will be reunited at the 83rd Goodwood Road & Racing Members’ Meeting presented by Audrain Motorsport. Jenson Button, the 2009 F1 World Champion, will return to the cockpit of his title-winning Brawn GP car for a scintillating demonstration around the Goodwood Motor Circuit. To better prepare yourself for this momentous event, I strongly advise that you check out the Disney + documentary "Brawn: The Impossible Formula 1 Story" which has been out for awhile.

The 83^rd Members' Meeting presented by Audrain Motorsport takes place on the 18^th & 19^th April 2026.

To your success on track and off!
