The test is another small step towards competing in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Rossi's ultimate goal since he switched ღto four-whe𝓰el racing.

Rossi will drive a Team WRT Oreca 07, the day after ꦑthe WEC concludes with the 8 Hours of Bahrain.

“I’m very happy to be trying ไthe LMP2 for the first time!,” said the MotoGP legend.

“It’s a great opportunity from Team WRT, because we have plans for me to test the BMW Hyper꧂car in the future.꧅ 

“So, before testing that, I think it’s good experience to try the LMP2 as it’s similar 💎♉in terms of downforce and I’m curious to understand my potential. 

“🍌I’m also looking forward to being in Bahrain to watch the final race of the season, and as I’m hoping to race in the WEC in the future, it will be good to under🅠stand the atmosphere and the structure of the event.”

Rossi competes in the GT World Challenge representing Team WRT. In his first year he dr♍ove an Audi, and this year he was behind the wheel of a BMW.

🐼He won the Road To Le Mans earlier this year, a supꦆport race to the iconic endurance event.

His rookie test of an LMP2 cꦫar on Sunday is the next step towards a poss♈ible 2024 programme which could result in Rossi's appearance in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
