Valentino Rossi says when he 🐲calls time on his illustrious MotoGP career he wants to continue racing by switching to four-wheels.

The Movistar Yamaha MotoGP rider, who turns 37 i🎀n February, says his preparations for the 2016 MotoGP champion🔥ship are already underway after narrowly losing in the title race to his team-mate Jorge Lorenzo.

While confirming his desire has grown even stronger to secure a tenth world title, and 🌄a eighth MotoGP world championship, Rossi feels that when it is time to end his MotoGP career he wants to continue competing and racing in cars.

"I have a great passion for cars because when I remember growing up, my father Graziano, when he stopped with the bikes he raced in rally," Rossi said. "It gives me a lot of passion like iꦚt did to him. I would like to race a lot with the cars when I finish with MotoGP but anyway I will try to stay for some more years in MotoGP and when I stop, for sure I can do something with the car, I don't know if it is rally or something else."

After claiming a fourth victory at the Monster Energy Monza Rally Rossi explained he likes to use these events to enjoy the off-season while also keeping sharp in race cond𝔍itions.

Rossi, who briefly flirted with the idea of switching into Formula 1 in 2006 and tested for Ferrari, has previously entered the World Rally Championship on three occasions; in 2002 at the British Rally, 𒈔in 20𝔍06 in New Zealand - finishing 11th - before returning to Britain in 2008 where he finished 12th.

Despite being open to any possibility of racing on four-wheels, Rossi's experience and talent means he could favour rallying as a possible option for the future but hasn🍒't put a timescale on any plans.

"For a long, long time I've returned to this rally because I like this ev🍸ent," he explained. "You have the thrill of the race but less pressure than in MotoGP so I can enjoy it. I can drive this car which is fantastic. Also in our team we have Brivio and Uccio, so it always good fun."
