The 2009 Formula 1 champion has been competing in his first full season of racing since he retired from F1 in 2016.
“As a team, to come away with an eighth and ninth, posting the lead lap in the points, its pretty good going and I think we should take a lot of positives from it, Button said.
This year’s Le Mans was raced in very wet conditions, with heavy overnight rain and more than six hours of racing neutralised by safety cars.
Button, who raced in the number 38 car alongside Oliver Rasmussen and Phil Hanson said the conditions made racing “tough”.
“The weather made it really difficult because there was a lot of rain, especially at night,” he said.
“The lights on the car are OK – they’re better than your lights on your road car – but still, you’re doing 200-plus miles on the straight, I think we hit 210mph at that speed and it’s raining, it’s tough.”
He added: “To pick out which parts of the track are really wet and aren’t and at night time being able to see the circuit was really difficult.”
“There were some huge shunts because people just didn’t know how wet the corners were going into it.”
