Enrique Bernoldi will be making his debut in the IndyCar Series this season with Conquest Racing, but he is far from a rookie in the International Open-Wheel World. The Brazilian, started his career, like many, in karting, where he captured numerous titles before moving to Europe and claiming the Formula Renault 2000 Eurocup Series Championship in 1996. His championship allowed him to graduate to British F3 where he had two successful seasons which included seven victories and a runner-up position in the 1998 Championship. He then spent two years in F3000, all while getting his first taste of Formula 1 as a test driver for Sauber.

In 2001, Bernoldi signed on with the Arrows Formula 1 team making 28 starts over his two seasons with them. In 2003, he earned two wins and five podium finishes in the Formula Nissan World Series as well as two wins and seven podiums in 2004 while finishing third in the Championship before returning as a Formula 1 test driver with BAR in 2004 and 2005. Recently, Bernoldi competed in the StockCar Brasil series and participated in the Argentinean TC2000.
