Brazilian snaps up second Conquest seat as rookie loses backer.

“Jamie will be a great addition to our team," team owner Bachelart claimed, "With his oval experience and Enrique Bernoldi's road and street course experience, it will be a good combination for the team. Jaime has proved himself in Indy Lights and I think he will fare well in the IndyCar Series.

"We are also pleased with the extension of our sponsorship programme with Sangari following the loss of both Opes Prime, who went into receivership, and ARES, who were supporting the 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. However, he will be released should a racing seat be available for him with another team.”
