We assess Valentino Rossi’s chances in the 93rd running of the Le Mans 24 Hours.
Valentino Rossi should not be underestimated in this weekend’s Le Mans 24 Hours racing event, as the MotoGP legend returns to compete for Team WRT in the LMGT3 category driving the #46 BMW M4 GT3 Evo.
Despite encountering challenges in his Le Mans debut last year, Rossi and his teammate Ahmad Al Harthy now have more experience after competing in the World Endurance Championship and are joined by Kelvin van der Linde as the car’s new platinum driver.
Rossi has restructured his racing commitments this year to focus primarily on the World Endurance Championship, aiming to improve his competitiveness on track.
Having shown consistent improvement in his car racing career, Rossi secured his first major GT3 win in 2023 and narrowly missed a WEC victory this year.
With the support of his skilled teammate van der Linde and the competitive BMW M4 GT3, Rossi could be in contention for a significant win at Le Mans, provided they maintain clean execution and avoid potential pitfalls in the highly unpredictable world of endurance racing.
