Valentino Rossi wins race 2 of the Gt World Challenge Europe- Corriere.it at Misano

Standing before his people. Valentino Rossi won race 2 of the GT World Challenge Europe at Misano. the first important success on four wheels for the Doctor in one of the most competitive championships in the category.

At the wheel of a BMW of the Wrt team crewed by Maxime Rossi, the turning point in the race took place thanks to a pit stop. The Italian Raffaele Marciello also did well, having climbed back to fourth from tenth, he had dominated the first race on Saturday. Another excellent performance for Lorenzo Patrese, son of the legendary F1 driver. Big party for the nine-time MotoGP world champion who is growing well in endurance tests and is aiming to participate in the 24 Hours of Mans one day. Valentino detached the Audi of Legeret and Haase by 4 seconds. On the podium also the other BMW of Wrt driven by Simmenauer-Neubauer.

Rossi’s joy for the triumph on the track named after Marco Simoncelli (where he won three times in the MotoGP) is enormous. He stops the BMW, gets out and with his helmet still on his head turns to the grandstands, where the yellow tide is no longer as big as it used to be, but there is the same to support him in this new four-wheeled adventure.

Misano, his land. Very close to Tavullia where she lives with Francesca Sofia Novello and little Giulietta, who has just started walking but is already riding a mini-bike. The father with two wheels stopped at the end of 2021, continues to manage the Vr46 team and the Academy from which the world champion Pecco Bagnaia came out, among others. In addition to Marco Bezzecchi, his brother Luca Marini, and many others. In Vale’s future there are endurance races at the highest level, the Wec circuit, and this success is the springboard for a career that requires patience, will and ambition.
