Earlier this year Mobil 1 and Forza Motorsport launched the “Legend vs. Leaderboard Rival Events” series, where gamers could compete against professional drivers. Three-time NASCAR Cup champion Tony Stewart and Indy NXT race winner Jamie Chadwick were the initial contenders at Maple Valley Raceway on Xbox. Now, 2009 Formula 1 champion Jenson Button has joined the competition. The ongoing challenge, part of Mobil 1’s 50th-anniversary celebrations, takes place at Maple Valley with the 1971 Lotus Elan Sprint. Button praised the slow car’s fun factor and competitiveness in the series. The first two rounds featured Stewart and Chadwick in different iconic cars, setting lap times for players to beat. The Button challenge runs from Sept. 26 to Oct. 9, 2024, accessible through the Rivals section of Forza Motorsport, offering players the chance to not only best a motorsport legend but also win a custom in-game driver’s suit.
