The MotoGP icon secured the best result so far since he swapped bikes for cars at the Circuit Paul Ricard i🔯n France on Saturday night, his fourth race of his new adventure.

Rossi’s race highlight was an opportunistic undertake of the #50 BMW w𝓀hich s🥂lid him into P11.

Rossi's progress was hampered wh🍎en he forced into consecutive pitstops.

He had started the r🌞ace in the Team WRT Audi before handing over to teammates Fred Vervisch and Nico Muller after a double stint behind the wheel.

Rossi’s time in the Audi took his tea🐻m to P10 and they further improved to P5 for a respectable showing.

“It was difficult,” Rossi said. “First of all, because to do a double stint is very long. It 𒊎is difficult on the neck.

“I was in P7 with the top guys. But the to🐓p guys are a litt𒁏le bit faster than me.

“I try, I try, I try.

“In the second half of the first inter, I started to stru🐟꧂ggle with the tyres a little bit.”

Ferrari's Davide Rigon, Antonio Fuoco and Daniel ✤Serra won the race on Satu🐈rday.

The next date on the GT World Challenge Europe calendar is 17-19 𒀰June at Zandvoort in the Netherlands.
