💙The MotoGP icon secured the best result so far since he swapped bikes for cars at the Circuit Paul Ric꧂ard in France on Saturday night, his fourth race of his new adventure.

Rossi’s race highlight was an opportunisti🎃c undertake of the #50 BMW which slid him into P11.

Rossi's progr꧅ess was hampered when he forced into consecutive pitstops.

He had started꧑ the race in the Team WRT Audi before handing over to teammates Fred Vervisch and Nico Muller after a double stint beh🍬ind the wheel.

Rossi’s time in the Audi took his team to P10 and they further improved t🐻o P5 for a 🔯respectable showing.

“It was difficult,” Rossi said. “First of all, because to do a do𓆉uble stint is very long. It is difficult on the neck.

“I was in P7 with the top guys. But the top guys are a little bit faster t🃏han me.

“I try, I try, I try.

“In t✨he second half of the♑ first inter, I started to struggle with the tyres a little bit.”

Ferrari's&nbs♕p;Davide Rigon, Antonio Fuoco and Daniel Serra woಌn the race on Saturday.

The next date on the GT ♈World Challenge Europe calendar is 17-19 June at Zandvoort in the Netherlands.
