Mi-Jack/Conquest Racing source: champcarworldseries.com YEAR: ninth, third in Champ Car BASED: Indianapolis, IN DRIVERS: Nelson Philippe & Andrew Ranger OWNER: Eric Bachelart & Mike Lanigan KEY MOVES: Canadian rookie Andrew Ranger has joined the team and Bruce Ashmore has also joined Conquest as the team's engineering director. FORECAST: Watching Bachelart's pair of talented teens develop should be a
feature of the year. If either makes the podium it will be big news. Former driver Eric Bachelart started his team in Indy Lights in 1997, moved
into the IRL in 2001 and on to Champ Cars in 2003. Bachelart's partner Mike
Lanigan is the boss of Mi-Jack, North America's leading manufacturer and
supplier of mobile gantry cranes. Last season with Justin Wilson, the
Mi-Jack/Conquest team made some waves as Wilson qualified on the front row in
Cleveland and finished fourth--a team best--in the Mexico City season closer.
Conquest also ran Nelson Philippe in the second half of the year after Philippe
split with Rocketsports. The complete article at champcarworldseries.com
