Indianapolis, IN (February 4)—Mi-Jack Conquest Racing confirmed today that Nelson Philippe will return to the team for the 2005 season. Philippe, who joined the team during the 2004 season and promptly posted a run of strong finishes, was the youngest driver ever to make a Champ Car start at just seventeen years old, and the Frenchman is looking to continue his forward progress up the grid that he started with MJCR last season.
“I am excited to have Nelson returning to the cockpit of the MJCR Lola for the 2005 season,” said team owner Eric Bachelart. “Last year was a good learning year for Nelson, I believe in his talents and I know he has a lot of potential. I am pleased that we have the chance to sign Nelson early, as we can now begin building our future with him,” said Bachelart.
....
One significant hiring was the addition of Bruce Ashmore to the team. Ashmore designed the all-conquering Lolas that took the Champ Car Championships in 1990, 1991, and 1992 before moving on in 1994 to enjoy success in his executive role with Reynard. Ashmore will be bringing his considerable technical and race day experience to bear as the team continues to develop their engineering and development program with the team Lolas.
The technical side of the program is not the only part of the equation that has kept the Mi-Jack shops busy with activity this winter, as team owner Bachelart has been working to strengthen the teams commercial prospects as well.
“We are in ongoing discussions with a potentially significant new team partner, and hope to have some positive results from these discussions,” said Bachelart. “It has been a very busy off-season for us, but it’s an exciting time as we look forward to the 2005 season.”
