If this rainy weather and cold is keeping you from riding your motorcycle and you’re slightly bored, why not spend a few hours and try to make Valentino Rossi and Yamaha YZR-M1 out of paper?Yamaha has dedicated a special website Motorsports World Racing to the art of papercraft chosing to represent Rossi at the height of his racing career, with the famed and controversial Laguna Seca race in 2008 where he ran off track at the Corkscrew (which would be repeated five years later by Marc Marquez, who would use the same move on him).
The Japanese manufacturer offers the various papercraft models on the website, so you can simply download models (free of charge) with the instructions, and begin building the YZR-M1, Rossi, the pits and the Laguna Seca track.
Yamaha has also added a brief interview between Valentino Rossi and the papercraft designer Nobutaka Mukouyama for your enjoyment.
