MotoGP legend 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valentino Rossi is no stranger to racing at Le Mans, however, that’s on two-wheels and not around the🔯 full-length Circuit ꦺde la Sarthe.

Rossi will make his first-ever appearance at the 24h Le Mans t🌌his weekend, driving 🃏a BMW in the LMGT3 class.

“It's a bit of a change of scenery for me,” said Rꦐossi. “I'm familiar with the MotoGP paddock at the Bugatti circuit, having raced there for 20 years, but this is even bౠigger. It's amazing to see the organisation behind it.

“I got used to the circuit last year with Road to Le Mans and I can't wait to spend 24 hours there. But I'm not yet used to the night, the forest or the traffi🎃c.”

Despite it being his first appearance at L💟e Mans behind the wheel, Rossi is aiming to fight at the front of the LMGT3 class.

“Our level of performance varies depending on the circuit, but overall we've been pretty fast since the start of the season🐎,” said Rossi.

“We hope to be competi🐲tive. We've had our ups and downs this year, but we th🍌ink we'll be able to fight for the top places.”

A💟 complete contrast compared to MotoGP, Endurance racing is everything the MotoGP is not as performance over long periods of time matters much more than what you can do over one, or a few laps.

Speaking about the adjustments he h♌as had to make since joining Endurance racing, Rossi added: “It's difficult to ad🧸apt to endurance racing because a MotoGP race lasts just over forty minutes, and it's full throttle from start to finish.

“Th🐎e start and the first corner are very important. Y🌟ou take risks in those moments.

“Here, we have to share the car, there's a lot of strategy and that's the biggest cha𝄹llenge for me.”
