The joint venture of the both of these companies will be developing an all new Mahindra Moto3 model which will be taking part in the World Championship season 2013. The Suter Racing is currently run by the Eskil Suter, the former Grand Prix rider.
Following their debut in the outgoing 125cc two-stroke class in the MotoGP in 2010, the company had marked their entry in the four-stroke, 250cc single-cylinder Moto3 class in year 2012. However, the performance of the team was not up to the mark due to sluggishly performing engine.

We have been impressed by Suter Racing Technology - its track record, facilities and expertise and its Moto3 bike design."
