Valentino Rossi skilfully earned his best result on four wheels at Misano in GT World Challenge Europe
It was the𓆏 Italian motorcycle racing legend’s best result so far of his꧂ debut season on four wheels.
He had endured a day to forget on Satu🎃rday by spinning during qualifying then failing to finish the first sprint race of the weekend at the track that is jus꧂t a short dis𒐪tance from Tavullia, his hometown in Italy.
But on Sun🐽day Rossi demonstrated his promise behꦍind the wheel.
He and Tea𝔍m WRT #46 Audi teammate Frederic Vervisch first qualified in P7.
Vervisch started the race and made excellent progress to run into seve✅nth.
When Rossi took over he defended impressively from the pr𓆏essure of Jules Gounon to finish in fifth.
The race was won by fellow T🍃eam WRT duo Charles Weerts and Dries Vanthoor.
But Rossi, now 43 and hav♋ing retired from MotoGP at the end of last year, achieving such a solid result on the circuit where he won three times on two wheels will have sent the Misano fans home happy.
