The concept of hosting a groundbreaking and thrilling joint race weekend featuring Formula 1 and its two-wheeled counterpart, MotoGP, is gradually becoming a more tangible goal for the medium term.
Speculation about such an event has been circulating for a while, gaining momentum with the revelation that Liberty Media, the commercial rights holder for F1, now also possesses MotoGP.
Carlos Ezpeleta, the incumbent MotoGP sporting director and son of the series' chief Carmelo, highlighted that a combined F1-MotoGP event is "not in the immediate plans."
"But it's also not something that we rule out for the medium term," he communicated to the Spanish press following the Liberty Media acquisition news.
Identifying a suitable circuit that can cater to the distinct demands of both F1 and MotoGP remains an unresolved matter.
"There are a number of circuits that can accommodate both series," Carlos Ezpeleta acknowledged, "but not very many."
"It is a project that will not be put aside, but we are not working on it at this stage," he further elaborated, setting the stage for future developments in this exciting possibility.
