Nine-time world champion Rossi called time on his 26-season grand prix motorcycle racing career at the end of last year, and has joined up with the crack sportscar outfit WRT for a full-season assault on GT World Challenge Europe across the Sprint and Endurance divisions.
The 43-year-old will be partnered with Audi factory driver Frederic Vervisch across both championships, with Nico Muller joining the pair for the Endurance rounds.
