After ending his motorcycle career, Valentino Rossi has gone on to challenge himself in a different genre of motorsport. Once which has four wheels instead of two. The EX-Yamaha MotoGP rider has already said that he is working on staying in the sport which he joined this year where he currently races with the WRT Audi squad. He takes on the challenge of competing in both of the team’s Endurance and Sprint Cup rounds.

Valentino Rossi failed to elaborate whether he is aiming to stay with WRT or move onto another team. WRT announced on Monday that it will be ending its partnership with Audi after competing under their support for 13 seasons at the end of this year.

Valentino Rossi further went on to talk about the WRT Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo IIs and fixated on the fact that he is still going through the learning process in his first full season of racing on four wheels.

I’m quite happy – it is more or less what I expected because the level is very high and you have a lot of fast drivers,” he said.

“About the speed in the car, I am not so bad. For sure, I need to improve, and with more kilometres through the season I need to understand how to drive the car in a better way,” he continued.

In his first full season of racing on four wheels, ‘The Doctor’ has scored a best result of fifth place in both the Endurance and Sprint Cup rounds of the GTWCE this year. The Italian Legend was fifth in the six-hour Paul Ricard round in June together with Frederic Vervisch and Nico Muller and then repeated that result together with Vervisch in the second of the two one-hour sprint races at Misano earlier this month.
