GP2 Series CEO Bruno Michel said: "We are pleased to welcome Venezuela GP Lazarus to GP2 Series. They are a great addition to our competitive field of thirteen teams. Tancredi Pagiaro and most of his staff have been involved in GP2 in the past years and I am sure they will be able to be on pace very quickly."

Venezuela GP Lazarus Team Principal Tancredi Pagiaro commented: "We are very excited to be part of GP2 and I would like to thank the organisers for giving us this entry. This Series is the most prestigious and competitive category after F1. I am proud that we have reached such an important agreement with the Venezuelan sponsors. With their help, we have been able to enter the prestigious GP2 Series. We know this will be a big challenge but we are ready for it and cannot wait to get started."
