Valentino Rossi said he would like to compete in the famous Le Mans 24 Hours endurance race in the future, and possibly also in the Dakar Rally.

“One of the goals is to try to compete in the Dakar Rally, although that would be very difficult as you have to be very well prepared,” said the 37-year-old Italian, who has a contract with Yamaha until the end of the 2018 season. performed with a car, as racing a motorcycle is really dangerous. We’ll see, but I focus more on 24 Hours of Le Mans. This is my first goal as I feel much better on the track. Maybe I'll try to perform when I finish my career in MotoGP and I'll have more time. ”

Rossi flirted with a move to Formula One in 2006 after doing some testing with the Ferrari team. He decided to stay on two wheels and does not regret the decision, as the form of the team from Maranello has been in decline since then, and he himself has won two more world championship titles. “I think the decision was the right one, as after the 2006 season I won two more MotoGP world titles, drove some good races, fought well on the track, so I don’t regret anything. I really like Formula 1. At some point, I wanted to try and see what could develop from this, so I did some testing. When I was returning from Valencia, where we tested with others, I said to myself that I was not ready to finish racing on two wheels, and the decision was the right one. ”
