Valentino Rossi has revealed an ambition to contest the Nurburgring 24 Hours endurance classic.
Seven-time MotoGP champion Valentino Rossi explained that the German GT3 enduro on the Nordschleife was “in the plan” and up there with the Le Mans 24 Hours on his bucket list when he switched full-time to car racing in 2022 on his retirement from two wheels. Rossi ticked the Le Mans box this year as part of his full-season campaign in the World Endurance Championship with the WRT BMW LMGT3 class squad but stressed that he had no immediate plans to race at the Nurburgring.
That, he stated, will mean there will be no Nurburgring assault for him in 2025. The 45-year-old explained that he didn’t want to add in extra races, including two starts on the Nordschleife in the Nurburgring Long-distance Series in a car below three-litre capacity necessary to obtain the licence or permit to compete in the 24 Hours.
