Valentino Rossi participates at Goodwood FOS for the first time

Moto GP superstar Valentino Rossi participated on the final day of this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed. For his Goodwood debut on two wheels, Rossi rode his Yamaha M1 MotoGP bike carrying a special livery to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Yamaha Motor Co. 

As for four wheels, he drove the legendary 1991 Le Mans-winning Mazda 787B; the same car seen soaring out of the sky above Goodwood House in this year’s Central Feature, as well as an ex-Henri Toivonen Lancia Delta S4 Group-B rally car.

With the Goodwood debut and the final-lap thriller to win the Dutch TT at Assen, Valentino Rossi has had an incredible weekend. Perhaps celebrations are in order before the start of intense preparations for Sachsenring in Germany next month.
