Valentino Rossi to Test BMW Prototype in Bahrain
Valentino Rossi, the seven-time MotoGP champion, is set to test the BMW M Hybrid V8 LMDh prototype at the World Endurance Championship (WEC) rookie test in Bahrain on November 3rd. This opportunity marks Rossi's first experience with an LMDh car after transitioning from motorcycle racing to car racing, where he has competed in the GT World Challenge Europe and the WEC. Rossi has achieved notable success in his endurance racing career this season, securing two podium finishes in the LMGT3 class alongside teammates Ahmad Al Harthy and Maxime Martin. His test in Bahrain could open doors for a future in the Hypercar category, as he expressed excitement about the potential for racing in that class. BMW motorsport director Andreas Roos confirmed that Rossi's test was part of a strategy to evaluate drivers from various backgrounds, similar to opportunities provided to other racing stars like Fernando Alonso. Rossi's commitment to both the WEC and GTWCE hints at a promising dual career in car racing following his illustrious motorcycle career.
