FOTA Teams to launch Breakaway Series in 2010

The Formula One Teams' Association announced on Thursday night that it is setting up a breakaway championship.

Following a four hour meeting at Renault's Enstone factory, the eight members of FOTA - Ferrari, McLaren, Renault, BMW, Toyota, Brawn, Red Bull and Scuderia Toro Rosso - said they had grown frustrated with the FIA's stance against the organisation, and had no option but to create a series of their own.

"The teams cannot continue to compromise on the fundamental values of the sport and have declined to alter their original conditional entries to the 2010 World Championship," said a statement issued by FOTA after the meeting.

"These teams therefore have no alternative other than to commence the preparation for a new Championship which reflects the values of its participants and partners. This series will have transparent governance, one set of regulations, encourage more entrants and listen to the wishes of the fans, including offering lower prices for spectators worldwide, partners and other important stakeholders.

"The major drivers, stars, brands, sponsors, promoters and companies historically associated with the highest level of motorsport will all feature in this new series."

F1 teams were given until Friday evening to remove the conditions attached to the provisional entries they posted earlier this month, or risk being left off the grid in 2010.

FIA president Max Mosley wrote to the teams yesterday offering them some of the concessions that they wanted to see regarding governance of the sport, but made it clear that he was sticking to plans for the introduction of a budget cap.

In his letter, Mosley also urged the teams to sign up to the championship before sorting out the final version of the regulations and a redrafted Concorde Agreement.

In response to that letter, the teams met at Renault's Enstone headquarters on Thursday evening for lengthy talks, where they finally decided that there was no way a compromise deal could be reached with the FIA.

The teams expressed frustration that their efforts to try and improve F1 had been rebuffed by the governing body and the sport's commercial rights holder.

"Since the formation of FOTA last September the teams have worked together and sought to engage the FIA and commercial rights holder, to develop and improve the sport," said the statement.

"Unprecedented worldwide financial turmoil has inevitably placed great challenges before the F1 community. FOTA is proud that it has achieved the most substantial measures to reduce costs in the history of our sport.

"In particular the manufacturer teams have provided assistance to the independent teams, a number of which would probably not be in the sport today without the FOTA initiatives. The FOTA teams have further agreed upon a substantial voluntary cost reduction that provides a sustainable model for the future.

"Following these efforts all the teams have confirmed to the FIA and the commercial rights holder that they are willing to commit until the end of 2012.

"The FIA and the commercial rights holder have campaigned to divide FOTA.

"The wishes of the majority of the teams are ignored. Furthermore, tens of millions of dollars have been withheld from many teams by the commercial rights holder, going back as far as 2006. Despite this and the uncompromising environment, FOTA has genuinely sought compromise."

The announcement by FOTA looks certain to overshadow the British Grand Prix, which takes place at Silverstone for the final time this weekend and which Mosley is expected to attend tomorrow.

With FOTA's stance now seemingly leaving no room for a deal possible, its likely that more new teams will be added to the FIA's 2010 Formula 1 entry list.

The inclusion of Ferrari, Red Bull Racing and Scuderia Toro Rosso on that roster remains open to debate, however, with the FIA claiming that the teams committed themselves to F1 in a deal agreed several years ago.

=========================

what really matters are F1 has no real competitor these days, f1 masih lagi series open wheel terunggul in terms of horse power speed & technology

F3 => GP2 => F2 => F1
A2=>A1
Champcar vs IRL (american)
Formula Masters lagi

yang lain tu macam Lemans WTCC tak kira sebab dah kira sports car racing dah tu

'Breakaway eight' are serious - Brawn
1 day ago
Brawn GP chief executive Nick Fry has warned FIA president Max Mosley that FOTA's threat of a breakaway series is not an idle one.
The message comes ahead of what Fry sees as a "critical" meeting of the World Motor Sport Council in Paris on Wednesday as they address the row that has threatened the existence of Formula One.
Outlining FOTA's position, Fry said: "The alternative championship is a very realistic proposition. It's not an idle threat as some people hope."
Mosley has so far belittled certain members of FOTA - describing them as "loonies" - and derided the organisation itself, claiming it has no chance of succeeding.
Mosley is also showing scant regard for the fans if he believes they would rather pay to watch a diluted version of F1 with unknown teams and drivers compared to another series that includes Ferrari, McLaren, Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso.
The 69-year-old seems to think the teams will back down, but he is either miscalculating their resolve, or is foolishly misguided as the feeling from the paddock throughout the course of the British Grand Prix is that FOTA are united and standing firm.
"Is it (a breakaway) the optimum solution? Maybe not, because we have a great championship here and it's better to improve what you've got as opposed to doing something new," admitted Fry.
"But if we don't feel we can improve this to the level required then there won't be an option.
"We will have to do an alternative championship, and plans for that are very will progressed. It is clear in our mind that we could develop a championship which would have all the star teams, star drivers and the big sponsors.
"We would also offer a better deal to the fans who, at the moment, are paying through the nose to watch F1."

aku paling suka ayat last tu.... maksudnye tak de la tiket tu mahal cam F1 skang nie. Bernie makan byk sgt. lagi satu team2 yg join bole buat agreement split untung series baru pasal Bernie dah out of picture.

weta_studio

kalo series baru ni lagi adil menguntung byk pihak aku rasa tak mustahil manufacturer lain akan join gak series baru ni..

F1 akan jadi series yg dah tak famous

tapikan..sejauh mana driver yg hebat dlm F1 sblm ni mampu menarik perhatian penonton jika driver tersebut dah bersara??{:3_81:}
