Why racing at 24 Hours of Le Mans ‘more enjoyable’ than MotoGP for Valentino Rossi
Nine-time grand prix world champion Valentino Rossi, who retired from MotoGP last season to pursue car racing, finds racing at the 24 Hours of Le Mans more enjoyable due to the difference in pressure compared to MotoGP. Despite suffering a non-finish at Le Mans last year, Rossi comes into his second 24 Hours of Le Mans feeling less pressure but maintaining his commitment and effort at 100%. Rossi appreciates the opportunity to race at Le Mans, one of the most famous races globally, alongside experienced drivers like Al Harthy and van der Linde. He acknowledges the challenge of transitioning from motorcycle to car racing but enjoys the aspect of sharing the car and learning from renowned co-drivers in the World Endurance Championship. Rossi notes improvements in the No.46 BMW M4 GT3’s performance this year, particularly in electronics and stability, aiming to be competitive against formidable competitors like Ferrari and Porsche in the upcoming race.
