MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi enjoys cars just as much as bikes. In the past he has often thought about making the switch to F1 after his MotoGP career, however he thinks his window has closed (age 33). He has tested the Ferrari F1 and lapped competitively.

Anyhow usually after GP season is over he does rally driving for fun. The guy is seriously talented. He finished 1st in 2 out of 9 stages beating Sébastien Loeb.

Just to give you a heads up Sébastien Loeb has won the world championship a record eight times in a row and broken many records.

If there is more interest I can post more relevant videos.

kautiongsr can jump in here and tell you more about how significant his performance actually was compared to other well know drivers we might all know.

I agree with you buddy... He can really get in there and drive a rally car and win some stages against Sebastian loeb, who has been a world champion for a couple of yrs says alot about Rossi.
