Rossi in 17th place on four-wheel GT debut despite pit-lane howler

SPORTS 03.04.2022

Nine-time world motorcycling champion Valentino Rossi switched to four wheels on Sunday and finished 17th on his debut in the GT World Challenge event on home ground at Imola.

Text size:

For the 43-year-old Rossi, who retired as a MotoGP rider at the end of last season, it was an eye-opening maiden appearance.

He made a small mistake in the pit lane. Not finding his garage despite the signs from his mechanics, he had to go around for an extra lap before handing over driving duties in his Audi.

Although it certainly cost time and places for teammates Nico Mueller and Frederic Vervisch of Belgium, who shared the drive, the rookie blunder brought smiles to the paddock.

The three-hour race was won by Kelvin van der Linde, Dries Vanthoor and Charles Weerts.
