F1’s Jenson Button to sign off Radford cars at bespoke U.S. racetrack

Jenson Button will personally sign off every new car built by famous and revived British custom car brand Radford

The Radford Track

Rejuvenated retro British brand Radford has announced it will have access to its own racetrack in North America – for 2009 World Champion and Radford partner Jenson Button to personally sign off each car it builds.

The circuit, now renamed Radford Racing School Arizona, USA, is where Button will put each bespoke creation through its paces.

It will also be the centre of dynamic development for all future Radford models, and where owners will be able to receive tuition and guidance on how to get the best from their bespoke creations.

Team Radford

Radford is a British coachbuilder that famously built four bespoke Minis for the Beatles in the 1960s.

It has been revitalised under the leadership of TV’s Ant Antstead, F1’s Jenson Button, car designer Mark Stubbs and business adviser Roger Behle.

Stig Investments, which bought the circuit follow the bankruptcy of former resident, the famous Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving, has granted Radford access to the well-loved circuit.

“Great engineering is only achieved through obsession over every detail and marginal gains,” said Jenson Button.

“A race track is the perfect environment for this… and it’s also my happy place, of course.”

The company confirmed the first car is already in development, with more news due to be revealed soon.
