The iconic endurance race has long been a goal for the MotoGP legend who has completed his debut season on four whe🌺els.

Rossi race🙈d for Team WRT in the GT World Challenge Europe, driving an Audi, and produced some steadily imp🌸roving results as the year went on.

Rossi has confirmed that he will stay with Team WRT for 2023 but the team are switching from Audi to BMW,🐼 and the Italian has already tested the new M4 GT3 car.

BMW haveꩵ, separately, confirmed that they will enter the 🦩Hypercar class of the 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans.

This means a🐈 strong season behind the wheel of a BMW could earn Rossi a spot with the manufacturer at the legendar🥂y endurance race in the year after.

“This year I raced with the Audi but n🦄eღxt year I will be in the BMW,” he said to Sky. 

“I will become a factory driver and I am very happy. I have already tested the car, I will remain in the same team as last🤡 season. We are only chan༒ging cars.

“WRT had been with Audi for 15⛄ years but BM♑W was chosen for 2023. I tested it on Monday after the last race in Barcelona. It is beautiful, very modern, twin-turbo, bigger than the Audi. It seems easier to drive.”

Rossi said recently about the 24 Hours of Le Mans, his longtime dream: “I would like to try it and again we🐈 hoꦏpe to organise a test. 

“Then, however, it will be necessary to understand how fast I w🧸ill be to become 𒁏a Hypercar class driver. It will be a difficult challenge.”

Rossi, now aged 43, is a seven-time MotoGP champion whose protege 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia became the 2022 champion.
