In the WEC, it's not all about the driving, but you also have to watch out for the faster cars. Ahmad Al Arthy, Valentino Rossi's teammate, found this out the hard way at Spa-Francorchamps, where he is taking part in the 6-hour race that will start today at 2 p.m. The incident occurred during practice, when the BMW M4 GT3 made contact ... a bit too closely with the Ferrari hypercar.
The driver from Oman ended up off the track, literally flying over the kerbs, definitely an experience he would have preferred to avoid. Today Valentino will start from the 9th grid slot for the race.
