Valentino Rossi will be an official BMW driver in the GT World Challenge championship next season, in which he has already participated in this 2022 at the wheel of an Audi, while remaining in the Wrt team.
The announcement was made by BMW, explaining that the 9-time world motorcycle champion "will participate next year in the GT World Challenge Europe and also in the 12 Hours of Bathurst 12 Hour with the BMW M4 GT3 and will also be available for further appearances in races and tests in BMW M Motorsport racing cars».
"I am very proud to become an official BMW driver and it is a great opportunity," said Rossi. «Last year I started racing seriously in cars and I ended my first season with the Wrt team with which I got on very well and I am very happy that the WRT team has chosen BMW M Motorsport as its new partner. I still have a lot to learn and improve, but I hope to be up to the task and fast enough to fight during the race weekends».
