MILAN Oct 21 (Reuters) - MotoGP world champion Valentino Rossi will drive a Ford Focus in March's Mexico Rally in the world rally championship.

"It is the last chance to race in WRC before new rules in 2011. I can't let the opportunity escape me," Rossi said in his column in Gazzetta dello Sport on Wednesday.

The 30-year-old, who can win his ninth motorcycle world title at the Malaysian grand prix this weekend, has previously raced in the British and New Zealand rallies and is considering switching to four wheels permanently at some point.
