Button only alludes to doing some RX, doesn't mean it'll be in World RX. Even if it is then I'd be amazed if it's a full season, although I suspect IMG would drive a truck full of money to Monaco for him to secure the audience he'd bring.
You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

Would he bring a big audience though? Or just the uk, maybe (they're on a pretty obscure channel)?
Has Loeb or Block brought a big audience?

Certainly in the UK Button is more famous than the entire WRX field put together, multiplied by about 10. He's truly a household name so I think he'd be massive for the awareness of the sport. It doesn't just have to be TV views to be successful - but mainstream press coverage, new sponsors etc.

Have Loeb or Block won the F1 World Championship? Both of those are well known, but rallying doesn't have anywhere near the audience of F1. While Loeb is known to motorsport fans and Block is known to petrolheads, Button is pretty much known by everyone (certainly in the UK). He'd be a huge boost to the series.

Button really enjoyed RX when he tried it last year...

Is that true anymore though? Loeb has got the same amount of followers on FB and Block 5 times more than Button.
Just a quick google search

Let's not kid ourselves here, Motorsport in the public eye is still made out of 95% F1. Facebook followers don't tell much, if anything at all.

Great speeds. Did you miss WRC machinery on these roads?
