Valentino Rossi speaks a few days before the 24 Hours of Spa

The Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe arrives at its most important event, the 24 Hours of Spa: among the drivers competing is an excited Valentino Rossi, making his debut in such a long-duration race. “I am very happy to be at the most important race of the season and at such a big event,” said the Doctor. I am looking forward to my first 24 Hours of Spa, it will definitely be an incredible experience. Spa is a fantastic track, long, fast and technical, I really enjoyed driving a GT3 car there in testing. With 66 cars and all the best GT drivers in the world, it will be a great event and together with Fred and Nico we will give it our all in what is also our home race as a team.”

Thus teammate Frédéric Vervisch: “The ‘big one’ will be a new experience for Valentino but also for me, because I will be guiding him during the long week and advising him on how to handle everything, from the many parallel activities to the rest times. I am looking forward to it and I think we can do well because we have a good car and a good team. The goal remains to finish the race, and as high as possible.”
