Attention has turned to wha𝓡t The Doctor will do in 2024 to further extend his motorsport legend.

"I think the ꦿprogram is not yet defined," Rossi said after his most recent race in Barcelona concluded in the gravel. 

"But I will definitely cont♍inue to compete here in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup.

"Whether𒀰 I will continue to race in theꦺ Sprint Cup is still open.”

He added to : "I'll certainly start in GT3 next year and not in a hyper❀car.

"I want to drive a G🔯T3 at Le Mans! The question is whether I'll drive the entire FIA WEC. 

“But I definitely want to stay in thꦕe GT World Challenge Europe, which I✨ really like. 

“The res💃t of the programme is a question of how much time I ꦇhave."

Rossi, a Team WRT driver in a BMW this season, will s🌌tick by his team for 2024 too.

GT World Challenge Europe have confirmed a 16-round championshꦫip𓆉 for next year.

Rossi’s goal remains to race in the ꦆfamous 24 Hours of Le Mans but his entry remains unconfirmed.

This yearꦐ, he꧋ won for the first time in a car in a support race, the Road To Le Mans.

But Rossi will not race in the Nurburgring 24 Hour♈s in 2024 because he insists the licensing is problematic.

“I think it will be difficult because 🔴I don't have enough time to do it,” he said about obtaining💫 a licence.

"Besides, I'd have to drive a small car and I don't feel like sma🦂ll and low-power vehicles."

Rossi is now 44 years old and retains his responsibility as team owner of the Mooney VR46 MotoGP team, which is having a breakthrough season by challenging for the title through Marco Bezzec🍒chi.

A big decision looms for Rossi about whether to keep his team within Ducati’s ranks, or ta🐟ke them to Yamaha for 2025.
