Vroom, Vroom!!

Valentino Rossi, six times MotoGP World Champion and one of the world's best-loved sportsmen, is doing his bit to support BBC Children in Need.

Rossi will be competing in this year's Wales Rally GB in December, the final round of the FIA World Rally Championship, and he'll be driving a specially developed car. But if that wasn't cool enough, it will have the ever-smiling Pudsey on it too!

Andrew Coe, from the team which has organised the event, said: "We're delighted to welcome Valentino Rossi to this year's Wales Rally GB... He is a supreme ambassador for all forms of motor sport, as well as a remarkably-gifted sportsman."

Pudsey is thrilled that Rossi is supporting him, and Rossi said: "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."

We wish him the very best of luck!
