"Due to the economic pressures of the global financial downturn, and as an opportunity to bring together the World's premier prototype motor racing series, Carmelo Ezpeleta and Bernie Ecclestone have today announced the landmark merger of their two organizations to create the ultimate racing series: MotoF1."

Mr. Ezpeleta: "We (Dorna) realized that in our efforts to become increasingly like Formula One, we were losing ourselves in trying to compete, while always changing our schedules to accommodate theirs.
