Homologated for GT3 competition from the 2022 season, it replaced its predecessor as BMW's primary customer racing platform and quickly established itself across major GT championships worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"brands-hatch-2023-rossi-first-podium\"\u003eRace 2, Brands Hatch 2023: Rossi's First GTWCE Podium\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eValentino Rossi transitioned to four-wheel racing after retiring from MotoGP in 2021 and joined Team WRT — one of Europe's most decorated GT3 operations — to contest the Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe. Paired with Maxime Martin, a BMW works driver with extensive GTWCE experience, Rossi brought the No. 46 M4 GT3 home in 2nd place in Race 2 at Brands Hatch in 2023, securing his first podium in the series. The purple, yellow and black livery of Team WRT, combined with the globally recognised #46, made the car one of the most distinctive on the grid that season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"minichamps-1-18-die-cast-model\"\u003eMinichamps \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e Die-Cast: Event-Specific Provenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMinichamps, an official licensee for BMW and major racing series, produces this \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e scale model in die-cast metal.
