Hey guys, Jon here again. For all you Rossi fans out there, you will be happy to know that during the 2011 edition of the Monza Rally Show at the race track near Milan, the 32-year-old Italian VR46 finished second behind eight-time World Rally Champion, Sebastien Loeb.

Rossi, who finished 2011 MotoGP in seventh position overall, raced a Ford Fiesta RS WRC at the classic three-day, nine-stage event. The car donned a tribute to Rossi’s dear friend, the late Marco Simoncelli. Check out the video below.

Ninety-seven drivers were on track with Valentino Rossi throughout the Monza Rally Show, including including World Rally champions, five European Rally champions, an IRC Rally title holder, 11 champions from the Italian Rally series, and three title winners of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
