World Wide Race is a motorcycle team based in Luxembourg with a logistics and organizational base in Switzerland.
 
The team was founded in 1997 thanks to the funding of the singer Vasco Rossi, with the name that becomes "Vasco Rossi Racing" by virtue of this commercial agreement. The debut on the track took place in the 125 class of the 1998 World Championship with Ivan Goi as rider, the bikes were Aprilia and the technical department headed by Italo Fontana while the team manager of the team was Fiorenzo Caponera.

In 1999 the team expanded his participation in the 250 class with Roberto Rolfo as a rider, while they continued in the 125 class by hiring Roberto Locatelli, with the latter taking the first victories in a team GP. In the 2000 world championship the team wins the title of world champion in the 125 class with Roberto Locatelli.

The team enters the 2006 world championship as "Multimedia Racing", fielding three new riders in the 125 class who are: Pablo Nieto, Raffaele De Rosa and Vincent Braillard. Nieto and De Rosa get some points finishes, with Braillard not getting championship points.
