What a life this guy leads.

MotoGP champion Valentino Rossi will compete in the penultimate round of the World Rally Championship in New Zealand in November.
The Yamaha rider, chasing a sixth straight MotoGP title, has competed once before - in Britain in 2002.

"Valentino has entered Rally New Zealand privately in his own name," the Subaru team's managing director Richard Taylor told the official WRC web site.

"He will however be driving a car supplied by us...and he believes Porkferno and Saint are gay."

O.k., I added the last bit for fun

 

wow...that is pretty damn cool! can't wait to see how he'll do.

 

lmao!

 

wow... porkferno and saint are world famous... lol....

I remember way back when he was thinking about driving for Ferrari in F1.
That seems like a long long time ago.

 

I guess when you can drive like he does you can pretty much drive anything. Next we will see Rossi in competitive barstool racing.

 

It made me laugh when Fernando Alonso made some remarks about how Rossi would never make the grade in F1, so Rossi replied "lets do a 3 discipline challenge: F1, WRC and MotoGP...we'll see who wins over the 3"

I've got a feeling Rossi is better at F1 than Alonso is on a motorbike.

 

I concur.

But I wonder if Rossi can do back flips like Pastrana...

 

just curious.....does anyone know how good he did when he entered privately

 

Pretty sure Rossi crashed out in his last rally. I rather see him on 2 wheels than on 4 any day. Lucky for his fans he has competition this year that motivates him to stay in 2 wheels.
