McLaren Mercedes Formula 1 driver and 2009 Formula 1 World Champion Jenson Button is to make a guest appearance at the Brands Hatch DTM weekend, May 18-20.

Button will take the wheel of a Mercedes-Benz DTM 'race taxi' at the legendary British circuit.

On Sunday, Button will meet up with McLaren Mercedes teammate and current DTM championship leader Gary Paffett.

The winner of the first race of the new DTM era will then show him around the new DTM Mercedes AMG C-Coupé, focusing particularly on the features that distinguish it from an F1 car.

Once Button has familiarised himself with the controls, he will be offering his services as a 'race taxi' driver, to take the current DTM championship leader around the legendary English circuit.

On Sunday at 11:10 in front of the Mercedes-Benz hospitality suite, there will be an autograph session for fans followed by a question and answer session chaired by Mercedes-Benz DTM driver David Coulthard (DHL Paket Mercedes AMG C-Coupé) who is the expert analyst on the BBC live coverage of Formula 1 racing.
