Valentino Rossi is back on the podium.

The reti🅺red MotoGP legend finished P2 in just his second race in the World Endurance Championship series on Sunday.

ܫRossi 𓆏and teammates Maxime Martin and Ahmad Al Harthy were the runners-up in the Imola 6 Hours race.

They were behind th♛e wheel of a Team WRT BMW M4 GT3 in ♋the LMGT3 class.

And, in the end, they had to surrendꦆer the winning position to their Team WRT sister car driveꦓn by Augusto Farfus, Sean Gelael, and Darren Leung.

Rossi and co started from t🍎hird on the grid, but amid rainy conditions, he lost second-place to Ferrari during a ♚pitstop.

The Doctor's stint in the car ended after th✅re𝐆e hours and 42 minutes.

Later, his #46 briefly led the race b🌟ut 𒆙had to settle for P2.

“I am very happy about the one-two for Team WRT, for BMW M Motorsport, and𓃲 my first podium in FIA WEC," Rossi said. 

"We already had a strong cಞar on Saturday in qualifying, and Ahmad a🥂chieved a very good third starting position. 

"In the race, we then decided to stay out on slicks. Augusto was a bit faster than Maxime at the beginning and took the lead. Nevertheless, I am very happ🌄y with the result.”

Rossi, now ꦅ45, is into his second year of four-wheel racing.

His ultimate goal is to race at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, a dream which edged a step closer with another positive performance 🌞behind the wheel in the World Endurance Championship.
