Valentino Rossi is back at Valencia for a test with the Audi

Less than a month since the last MotoGP race of the 2021 season at Valencia, Valentino Rossi is back at the same track, now behind the wheel of a car, following his recent meeting with Italian president Sergio Mattarella. Today sees the Italian driving an Audi R8 LMS Evo 2022 belonging to Belgian team WRT, as reported by Belgian website dhnet.be. The same publication is almost certain that the nine-time world champion will take part in next season's GT World Challenge Endurance (GT3).

The future becomes increasingly clear

This is the only aspect of the Italian’s future still to be confirmed, following his participation in the Gulf 12 Hours in Abu Dhabi in January. The Belgian website is certain that The Doctor’s 2022 championship of choice will be the GT World Challenge Endurance (GT3) and that he will also complete a series of tests with the LMP2. We await confirmation…
