Default Win ride with Button in Honda sports car

Presumably this will be in an S2000:

What a brilliant prize - see this article by Brundle, towards the end where he says how impressed he was with Button's driving in a CRV!

"He drove me recently on the road from Nice to Monaco and his control was just extraordinary.

You just notice it straight away.

His smoothness at the controls is exceptional, even in what was one of those Honda CRV six-seater things

I would strongly presume this would be in an NSX, either his loan car or one of the others still in Honda's possesion.

Don't see why Honda would bother to promote a car they no longer make - and have seen Button in S2000's plenty of times before for PR work.

They will be promoting the brand, not a car though.

It'll almost certainly be the S. Would make much more sense to me.

Call me wierd, but I'd rather I drove and Button told me what to do. Although I wouldn't say no to the passenger ride.
