Valentino Rossi says when he calls time on his illustrious 🐻MotoGP career he wants to continue racing by switching to four-wheels.

The Movistar Yamaha 💟MotoGP rider, who turns 37 in February, says his preparations for the 2016 MotoGP championship are already underwa💃y after narrowly losing in the title race to his team-mate Jorge Lorenzo.

While confirming his desire has grown even stronger to secure a tenth 💯world title, and a eighth MotoGP world championship, Rossi feels that when it is time to end his MotoGP career he wants to co🦄ntinue competing and racing in cars.

"I have a great passion for cars because when I remember growing up, my father Graziano, when he stopped with the bikes he raced in rally," Rossi said. "It gives me a lot of pass🌌ion like it did to him. I would like to race a lot with the cars when I finish with MotoGP but anyway I will try to stay for some more years in MotoGP and when I stop, for sure I can do something with the car, I don't know if it is rally or something else."

Aftꦑer claiming a fourth victory at the Monster Energy Monza Rally Rossi explained he likes to use these events to enjoy the off-season while also keeping sharp in race conditions.

Rossi, who briefly flirted with the idea of switching into Formula 1 in 2006 and tested for Ferrari, has previously entered 🌟the World Rally Champions🎶hip on three occasions; in 2002 at the British Rally, in 2006 in New Zealand - finishing 11th - before returning to Britain in 2008 where he finished 12th.

Despite being open to any possibility of racing on four-wheels, Rossi's experience and talent means he could favour rallying as a possible option for the future but hasn't put a timescale o💜n any plans.

"For a long, long time I've retuꦉrned to this rally because I like this event," he explained. "You have the thrill of the race but less press✱ure than in MotoGP so I can enjoy it. I can drive this car which is fantastic. Also in our team we have Brivio and Uccio, so it always good fun."
