Valentino Rossi is back on the podium.

The retired MotoGP legend finished P2 in just his second race in the World🌊 Endurance Championship seriᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚes on Sunday.

Rossi and team𓃲mates Maxime Martin and Ahmad Al Harthy were the runners-up in the Imola 6 Hours race.

They🌃 were behind the wheel of a Team WRT BMW M4 GT3 in the LMGT3 class.

And, in the end, they had to surrender the winning position to thei🍎r Team WRT sister car driven by Augusto Farfus, Sean Gelael, and Darren Leung.

Rossi and co started from third on the grid, but amid rainy conditions, he lost second-place to Ferrari꧟ during a𓂃 pitstop.

The Doctor's stint in the car ended after three hours and 42 🅠minutes.

Later, his #46 briefly led the race🌊 but had to set🀅tle for P2.

“I am 𒁃very happy about the one-two 𝄹for Team WRT, for BMW M Motorsport, and my first podium in FIA WEC," Rossi said. 

"We already had a strong car on Saturd🌜ay in qualifying, and Ahmad achieved a very good th𒀰ird starting position. 

"In the race, weꦑ then decided to stay out on slicks. Augusto was a bit faster than Maxime at the beginning ♔and took the lead. Nevertheless, I am very happy with the result.”

Rossi, now 45, is into his second year of fo🐲ur-wheel racing.

His ultimate goal is to race at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, a dream which edꦜged a step closer with another positive performance behind the wheel in the World Endurance Championship.
