MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi will once again compete in the LMGT3 category of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) in 2025, continuing his transition from two-wheel racing to endurance sports cars. The nine-time world champion, who retired from MotoGP at the end of 2021, has been making waves in the world of GT racing and is now set for another exciting season in the WEC.
Rossi made his endurance racing debut in 2023, quickly adapting to the new discipline and proving his competitiveness behind the wheel. Driving for Team WRT in a BMW M4 GT3, he impressed with strong performances across multiple endurance events, including the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans. His participation in the WEC has not only brought increased attention to the LMGT3 category but has also demonstrated his ability to transition from motorcycles to high-performance sports cars successfully.
The Italian racing icon has expressed his enthusiasm for continuing in endurance racing, stating that the challenge of long-distance competition excites him. His passion for motorsport remains as strong as ever, and he is eager to build on his experience in 2025. With each race, Rossi has shown remarkable progress, gaining valuable knowledge in race strategy, tire management, and team dynamics—key aspects of endurance racing that differ from the sprint format of MotoGP.
For the upcoming season, Rossi and his team will aim to fight for podium finishes and further establish themselves as top contenders in the LMGT3 class. His presence in the championship has drawn MotoGP fans to the endurance racing scene, making WEC events even more popular among motorsport enthusiasts.
As the 2025 WEC season approaches, all eyes will be on Rossi to see if he can add another chapter of success to his legendary racing career, this time on four wheels.
