The first real automobile season of Valentino Rossi ends without a podium. In Catalonia, he achieved a P6 in tandem with Frederic Vervisch and Nico Müller, left behind the first Fanatec GT WCE and was already aiming to do it again. On the Doctor's agenda, several meetings are already scheduled: from November 4 to 6, he will be at the Ricardo Tormo in Valencia for the last race of the MotoGP World Championship.

With Luca marini and 'Uccio', he will participate in the 12 Hours of the Gulf, after missing the last edition due to financial quarantine. During the 2023 season, we will find Valentino Rossi in GT WCE, but no longer behind the wheel of the Audi R8 GT3. Indeed, the Belgian WRT team left the brand with the rings to get closer to BMW, which supplies an M4 GT3 already tested on the Catalunya circuit the day after the last round. As Propeller House reports, Valentino and his colleagues tested two BMW M4 GT3s equipped with a 3,0-liter inline-six turbo engine developing 590 horsepower. The team boss, Vincent Vosse, anticipates: “ This car is completely different from what we have used so far. »
