I did not manage to go to the Monza Rally last year and it looks like I cannot go to watch Valentino in action this weekend either at the 2006 Monza Rally:
It should be great fun though. Valentino Rossi just finished 11th in the New Zealand Rally with a one year old privately owned car. Impressive considering he has only driven one other rally before, the 2002 UK rally – which lasted just a few corners before he crashed out. With a cautious start he was only 28th after the first races but quickly mastered the car to finish in 11th place.
