F1 legend Gerhard Berger says Valentino Rossi came close to switching to the German touring car series DTM for 2022. After a long and glistening career, MotoGP legend and multiple champion Rossi, 42, finally retired from two wheels after finishing 18th overall and failing to win a race in 2021. The Italian wants to move his career onto four wheels, some decade and a half after nearly making the switch to Formula 1 – with none other than Ferrari. Now that his MotoGP career is over, Rossi looked closely at DTM, which is run by Formula 1 legend Berger. Indeed, Rossi will race an Audi RS LMS in the GT World Challenge Europe this year.
