Grapevine: Rossi to support Children in Need
Six-time MotoGP world champion Valentino Rossi will show his support to the BBC's Children in Need appeal when he takes part in the Wales Rally GB next month
The Italian, who will drive a Ford Focus RS World Rally car in the event, will carry support for the BBC's Children in Need charity, with a special livery.
"It's a tremendous honour to have Valentino Rossi promoting BBC Children in Need," said Children in Need's Marc Phillips. "We have had a remarkable response to this year's event on November 14th - and Wales Rally GB will be a fabulous final flourish for us.
"With a charity auction being held at the Service Park on the Friday night and volunteers collecting throughout the rally, it will be an important few days for us."
Rossi added: "I'm looking forward to Wales Rally GB - and am hoping for a good result at next weekend's Monza Rally in order to prepare for the forests."
"I'm also delighted to be supporting BBC Children in Need, which does such vital work in the UK. It's a great charity and one I'm very pleased to be involved in."
Wales Rally GB will take place on 4th-7th December.
