Conquest Racing announced today that they have signed Jaime Camara for the remainder of the season to drive their No. 34 entry as well as an extension to their sponsorship program with current partner Sangari.
Camara, a native of Goiania, Brazil, comes into Conquest Racing with loads of oval experience after having competed for three seasons in Firestone Indy Lights and racking up testing miles in Andretti Green Racing's IndyCar Series car last year.
Conquest Racing Team Owner Eric Bachelart said: "Jamie will be a great addition to our team. With his oval experience and Enrique Bernoldi's road, street course experience it will be a good combination. We are also pleased with the extension of our sponsorship program with Sangari following the loss of both Opes Prime, who went into receivership, and ARES who were supporting the No. 34 car driven by Franck Perera.
"That being said, as much as we are happy to have Jaime join the team, we are saddened that it is at Franck's expense. He has done exceptionally well in his IndyCar Series debut as well as in his one and only Champ Car race and we are keeping him as our reserve driver for the remainder of the year but he will be released should a racing seat be available for him with another team."
