It was only a matter of time, it's now official. The reconversion of Valentino Rossi will go through motorsport and GT3 more precisely. After a first test with the Audi R8 LMS GT3 of Team WRT on the Ricardo Tormo circuit in Valencia last December, the Doctor was confirmed within the Belgian structure for the 2022 campaign.

This season, Valentino Rossi will be entered in GT World Challenge and will compete in the Sprint and Endurance, still with the Audi R8 LMS GT3 sporting the 46, its lucky number. His teammates will be announced later.

« I am very happy to join Team WRT for a full program in GT World Challenge Europe, savors former MotoGP rider. Everyone knows that I have always been a big fan of car racing and always had a great interest in riding on four wheels once my career was over. Moto GP finished. Now I am fully available to dedicate myself to a high-level motor racing program and with the right professional approach. Team WRT is the ideal partner I was looking for and I can't wait to start this new adventure in GT World Challenge Europe with them. »
