Current World Champion Jenson Button will step into the cockpit of Alain Prost's 1986 McLaren-TAG Porsche at the Goodwood Festival of Speed next weekend, which is slotted into the motorsport calendar to be staged on the weekend before the British Grand Prix.
With this year's race at a revamped Silverstone set to be a spectacle for all to enjoy, not least because competitors will be navigating their ways around the new Arena Circuit for the first time, Goodwood will kick-start England's summer motor racing fever on the weekend of 2-3-4 July.
"Valencia is also the final race before two important stop-offs in the UK - our home race at Silverstone and, before that, the Goodwood Festival of Speed," said Button, who joined McLaren for the start of the current campaign.
"Both are events where the British fans will be out in force and, as World Champion, I'm looking forward to both.
"Silverstone will be an incredible experience and I get to achieve a childhood dream of driving one of Alain Prost's classic McLarens, the MP4/2C, at Goodwood. Sometimes, I can't believe how lucky I am."
