Volkswagen’s major brands Audi and Porsche will join Formula One after persuading the German automaker that the move will generate more revenue than it costs, according to VW CEO Herbert Diess.

For months, rumors have circulated that the two brands were in talks to form a cooperation to compete in the world’s most prestigious motor racing series.

F1 has been dominated by Volkswagen’s German competitor Mercedes for much of the last decade, with super driver Lewis Hamilton recently securing many world championships.
