Conor Daly to race with Venezuela GP Lazarus in 2014

Venezuela Lazarus GP is pleased to announce that Conor Daly will join the team for the 2014 season in the GP2 Series.

Conor debuted with Venezuela GP Lazarus in the opening GP2 round in Bahrain, finishing close to the top ten and impressing the technical staff of the team.

Born in 1991 in the United States, Conor both raced in Indy Lights and in the GP3 Series, where he raced until 2013, reaching in that year the third place in the overall standings with 126 points (and two wins in two years).

Nicolò Gaglian, Venezuela GP Lazarus: "We are delighted to have reached an agreement for this season with Conor Daly, a driver we have followed in recent years in GP3 and that has now thoroughly impressed when he got behind the wheel of our GP2 test in Abu Dhabi. It is a pleasure for us to be able to get on track an US driver: Conor, despite having little experience with the GP2 car, knows the circuits having raced three seasons in GP3. He’s a talented driver and we hope to reach good results together.”

Conor Daly said: "This has been a long winter of uncertainty for me, but I am committed on my path to Formula One. GP2 is where I want to be right now, and the Lazarus team really has a great group of people. We have learned a lot so far this season and have more work to do, but I will give everything to the team to help achieve a great result.”
