Rossi to make Goodwood Festival of Speed debut

Nine-time world champion Valentino Rossi will make his Goodwood Festival of Speed debut in 2015, hotfooting it from the Assen MotoGP round to tackle the event’s notorious hill on an M1.

The Doctor joins a superb line-up of motorcycle racers past and present at the Festival that also includes grand prix world champions John Surtees, Jim Redman, Giacomo Agostini, Kenny Roberts, Freddie Spencer and Casey Stoner, trials legend Sammy Miller and current Superbike ace Leon Haslam.

“I am very happy to attend the Festival of Speed at Goodwood this year. It will be my first time at Goodwood, but I know this event pretty well. I have read so many stories about the Festival and I have also seen many videos. The atmosphere looks gorgeous,” said Rossi.

“This event has the power to gather so many drivers, riders and motorsport VIPs and it is a great opportunity to have fun together. I’ll ride my Yamaha YZR-M1 to celebrate Yamaha Motor’s 60th anniversary but I might also drive a few cars… I would like to thank Lord March for the invitation at the 2015 Goodwood Festival of Speed. I am sure it’s going to be a beautiful day and I look forward to being there!”
