Bike legend Valentino Rossi and ex-Formula 1 driver Kevin Magnussen are set to team up in a BMW GT car at the upcoming Spa 24 Hours event next month. They will be joined by fellow BMW factory driver Rene Rast, forming a strong trio to tackle the Belgian endurance classic on 28/29 June. Rossi, Magnussen, and Rast have been recruited to bolster BMW’s lineup for the GT World Challenge Europe.
Rossi, a former GTWCE competitor with WRT, will make a one-off return to the series for the Spa event. Magnussen, with previous GT car experience, is excited about the opportunity to race at Spa. Rast, a two-time Spa 24 Hours winner with Audi, will bring his expertise to the BMW team.
The trio will be part of a five-car factory lineup from BMW at Spa, showcasing a strong presence in the race. WRT will field multiple BMW entries in different classes at the prestigious endurance event.
