Eric Bachelart, owner of Conquest Racing, is looking forward to make a full-time comeback to the IZOD IndyCar Series in 2013 and he says one Dallara DW12 is already prepared to receive any engine.
Because he could not obtain an engine lease last season, Bachelart was only able to run his DW12 at the Indy 500 in conjunction with Andretti Autosport and with Brazilian Ana Beatriz behind the wheel.
The former Indy Lights champion also said that everything was in place for his squad to run in the season's finale at Fontana but, once again, he could not obtain an engine, so he was forced to stay home.
As soon as the official withdrawal of Lotus of the series will be announced, Bachelart believes that it will be easier to have an engine lease either with Honda or Chevrolet. Once, that situation resolved, he will work hard to make this comeback a reality.
Meanwhile, Bachelart's incursion into sports car racing with his team Conquest Endurance will continue and he looks forward to 2014 when the Grand-Am and American Le Mans Series will merge.
