WRT’s Valentino Rossi was satisfied with finishing fourth on his FIA World Endurance Championship debut in Qatar, although was disappointed
After finishing just outside the podium at the Qatar 1812 km season-opener, the #46 WRT BMW M4 LMGT3 team was the highest finishing entrant among their two cars. Nine-time MotoGP World Champion and BMW works driver mentioned it was a good start, but being so close to the podium was disappointing. The team had a flawless race with no errors or track limit violations and the pit crew did an outstanding job. This marked Rossi’s second year as a BMW driver and his WEC debut at the Losail International Circuit, a change from his traditional motorcycle racing career. Despite a strong effort, the team fell short of the podium by 12 seconds, emphasizing the need to improve and strive for better results in the upcoming races.
