MotoAmerica, the new North American road racing series set to begin in 2015 and spearheaded by three-time World Champion Wayne Rainey and the KRAVE Group, is getting support from Dorna, the commercial rights holders for the MotoGP World Championship, and its CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta, according to a release issued today by KRAVE.
“The American Motorcycle Championship has always been a key reference for our sport, and the extremely high level of racing has provided the perfect development ground for aspiring World Championship riders,” said Ezpeleta in the release. “Now it’s great to see that Wayne Rainey, along with the KRAVE Group, will be heading up this new challenge to increase the talent pool even further – and bring yet more excitement to American racing fans.”
Rainey is obviously happy to have the support of Dorna.
“Gaining Dorna’s support is a major achievement for MotoAmerica,” said Rainey. “It means a lot to me to have Dorna and Carmelo’s support for our new road racing series. I got the opportunity to compete on the world stage because of AMA road racing, and I want to help give all of our American riders that same chance.”
