London, UK — Friday 27 November, 2009; Jenson Button will be paying a
special visit to the Karting Show at Autosport International 2010, at
the NEC Birmingham, to support the Super One 2009 championship awards
presentation on Saturday 16 January.

The UK’s premier national karting series from which the newly-crowned
FIA Formula One World Champion learnt his craft, Jenson will present
the Super One trophies for the top three drivers across the Cadet, KF1
MSA British Kart Championship, KF2 and KF3 Junior British Kart
Championship classes from 3.20pm.

An amazing 34 wins from 34 starts crowned Jenson the Super One Cadet
Champion back in 1991. He went on to take the Junior TKM series title
the following year, proving that graduating from Super One to Formula
One really can be a reality for budding future motorsport champions.

Super One Series Marketing Director John Hoyle said: "We're delighted
that Jenson has taken time out of his busy schedule to return to his
karting roots. We sincerely congratulate Jenson on his fantastic
achievements this year. He is a true inspiration to our competitors
who will be overjoyed to meet him at the Karting Show at Autosport
International."

As well as welcoming Jenson as guest of honour, Super One will boast
its brand new showcase stand to be one of the leading exhibitors at
the Karting Show at Autosport International. The specially designed
scheme includes a reception desk, where competitors can sign-up for
the 2010 series, that transforms into a stage platform from which the
silverware will be awarded to Britain’s top karters. A giant plasma
screen playing the 2009 season highlights will also be a prominent
feature.

Fans can join Jenson, Britain’s newest F1 Champion, in celebrating his
2009 season success at Autosport International, on Saturday 16 and
Sunday 17 January. Not only will visitors get the chance to see the
driver at the NEC-based show but also the machinery that helped him
win his title, as the Brawn GP car will be on display along with all
of the cars from the 2009 grid.

Autosport International will be open to the public on Saturday and
Sunday, 16-17 January 2010. Adult tickets start at £29 per day, with
children’s tickets costing from £19. MSA licence holders under 16
