In British F3, he was the highest placed rookie and finished 3rd behindAlvaro ParenteandCharlie Kimball,as well as managing 13th in theBP Ultimate MastersatZandvoort,having started 16t. At theMacau Grand Prix,Conway ended up fourth in both the qualifying and the qualifying race around the Circuito da Guia, before a problematic Grand Prix saw him retire with engine failure, but classified 14th.
Following that success he was signed by 2MB Sports Management run by former Grand Prix driversMartin BrundleandMark Blundell,and signed for theRäikkönen Robertson Racingteam, owned by thenMcLarendriverKimi Räikkönenand his race-managerSteve Robertson.In the 2006 season, Mike dominated the British F3 International Series, and clinched the title with three races remaining, as well as finishing first of the British F3 drivers in Race Two of the prestigiousPau Grand Prix,in France, a round of theBritish F3 International Seriesfor 2006 - Romain Grosjean won the race. While at theMacau Grand Prix,after qualifying 11th, he finished 7th in the qualifying race, before becoming the first British driver to win the Grand Prix sinceDarren Manningin 1999.
GP2
edit2006
edit
Conway made hisGP2debut atSilverstonein June 2006, when he replaced the injuredOlivier Plain aDPR Direxivcar. Having stalled at the start of race one, he battled to 11th place. In race two he also finished 11th.
Conway won the National Racing Driver of the Year Award at the 2006 McLarenAutosportAwards.
2007
editHe then signed to drive a full season forSuper Nova Racingin the2007GP2 Series,taking a podium finish atSilverstone,and signed as a test driver with theHonda Racing F1 Team[1].He remained in the series for2008,having signed for theTrident Racingteam,[1]after testing for several other teams[2].AtMonacohe took his first GP2 series win (and first 2008 podium) in the sprint race, earning pole position by finishing 8th in the feature race, in which he ran third before being hit by backmarkerJavier Villaon the final lap[3].AtMagny-Courshe finished 8th in the feature race, but faded to finish 6th in a wet sprint race. He eventually finished 12th in the drivers' championship, an improvement of two positions on the previous year.
IndyCar career
edit
During 2008, Conway was given an opportunity to test an IndyCar Series car atInfineon Racewayand surprised several series regulars by being top of the times during one session.[2]Conway signed withDreyer & Reinbold Racingto compete in the IndyCar Series full-time in2009.
On the final lap of the2010 Indianapolis 500,Conway was battling side by side withRyan Hunter-Reaywhen the two cars became entangled as Hunter-Reay'sDallararan low on fuel and stuttered between turns 3 and 4, resulting in Conway's Dallara-Hondabeing launched into the air. Conway suffered a broken leg during the crash and was flown straight to theMethodist Hospital of Indianapolis.[3]Conway also received a compression fracture of one of histhoracic vertebraeand was fitted with a back brace. The injuries effectively ended his participation in the rest of the 2010 Izod IndyCar Series season.[4]
On 1 February 2011,Andretti Autosportannounced that Conway had been signed to a full-time ride for the 2011 IndyCar season.[5]He won his first IndyCar race at Long Beach on 17 April 2011, but the remainder of the year was disappointing, as Conway only managed to score three more top-10 finishes and failed to qualify for the Indianapolis 500; he finished 17th in the championship.
Conway moved to theA. J. Foyt Enterprisesteam for the2012 season.[6]He also made his racing return to the Indianapolis 500, having failed to qualify the year before. He qualified near the back but appeared to have a strong car coming up several positions during the race. On lap 79 Conway entered the pits during a scheduled green flag pit stop period. He made contact with one of his crew members damaging his front wing but not injuring the crew member. The damage went unnoticed by the crew who hurried up the pit stop to keep Conway in contention. A few laps later Conway lost control of his car spinning in front ofWill Powerand making contact with Power causing him to hit the inside wall. At the same time Conway's car turned around backwards and flew airborne into the fence topside first. Conway was uninjured in the incident, but due to damage he was unable to finish the race and was scored in 29th position. He later finished in third place inToronto,his best result of the season.
In the week leading up to thefinal race of the 2012 season—held at theFontanasuperspeedway—Conway informed the Foyt team that he no longer felt comfortable competing on oval tracks, and asked not to race. He was replaced byWade Cunningham.Conway's decision stemmed from injuries after a crash at the2010 Indianapolis 500and the debate over IndyCar competing on oval tracks after the October 2011 death ofDan Wheldon.[7]
In2013,Conway ran a one race deal with Rahal-Letterman-Lanigan Racing at Long Beach finishing 25th with an electrical issue, then signed with Dale Coyne Racing for the doubleheader events of the year, winning his first race out at the Belle Isle Park Course. In2014he ran only the road courses and street circuits forEd Carpenter Racingwinning both the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach as well as the Honda Indy Toronto Doubleheader.[8]
Sportscar career
edit2013
edit
In 2013, Conway decided to enter sports car racing to supplement his IndyCar career, becoming a full-time driver forG-Drive Racingin theLMP2class of theFIA World Endurance Championship.[9]Having started the campaign with two points finishes, Conway and co-driversJohn MartinandRoman Rusinovwere excluded from a third place atLe Mansdue to a fuel tank infraction.[10]They then found form, dominantly winning from pole atSão PauloandAustin.[11][12]After finishing second inJapan,the trio won the final two races to finish third in the category standings.[13]
2014
editThe following year, Conway joinedLMP1outfitToyota Gazoo Racingas a test and reserve driver in theWEC,driving for the team in three races besides his IndyCar commitments.[14][15][16]He would score his first overall win in sportscars atBahrain,beating the Porsche entries on pace during the middle of the contest.[17]In addition to his duties in sportscars and IndyCar, Conway was announced as one ofDragon Racing'sdrivers for the inauguralFormula Eseason in July, though he left the team on 5 September before the first round.[18][19]
2015–2016
editThe Brit would become a full-time driver at Toyota for the2015 season,racing with the experienced pairing ofStéphane SarrazinandAlexander Wurz.[20]Over the course of the year, Toyota was unable to keep up with its rivals, as Conway and his teammates finished sixth in the standings, level on points with the sister car. With the retirement of Wurz, Conway and Sarrazin were joined byKamui Kobayashiahead of2016.[21]After being promoted to second atSilverstonedue to a disqualification for Audi, Conway made a mistake atSpa,hitting the #37 LMP2 entry and being forced to serve a drive-through penalty.[22][23][24]The car was later retired due to an engine failure.[25]Conway began theLe Mans 24 Hourswell by overtaking the Porsches ofTimo BernhardandNeel Janito take the lead in the opening hour.[26]He lost the lead to Jani during the night but emerged ahead due to a superior strategy in the morning; a chance of victory went begging however when the #6 had to enter the garage to fix floor damage, thus losing a place to the #2 Porsche and eventually ending up second after the #5's retirement on the final lap.[27][28][29][30]From the middle part of the campaign the #6 would become a constant on the podium, finishing third inMexicoandAmericabefore winning its home race atFujiafter a strong performance by Kobayashi.[31]The trio finished second inShanghaidespite suffering two punctures but lost out on the title in the final round, eventually finishing third overall.[32][33]
2017
editIn2017,Conway's teammates changed again, as he and Kobayashi were now partneringJosé María Lópezin the #7.[34]An early lead battle at the season opener was ended when López crashed heavily, though the team bounced back to claim second atSpa.[35]Drama followed atLe Mans:Conway had re-taken a lead he had lost during the second hour, which later became substantial because of reliability struggles for the entire LMP1 field.[36]The #7 would not be spared however, as the car's clutch broke during the night and forced them to retire.[37]Over the rest of the campaign, Conway and his teammates only scored two more podiums and finished last of the four full-time LMP1 entries in the standings.
2018–19
edit
With the absence of any manufacturers outside of Toyota in the top class for the2018–19 season,Conway, Kobayashi, and López would be battling the sister car throughout the year.[38]Their dominance showed atround one,where Conway made his way through all other classes within the first hour despite starting from the back of the grid and later narrowly lost out on victory toFernando Alonsoin the #8.[39][40]The #7 finished second to the sister car atLe Mansand once again lost out atSilverstonedespite a pole from Conway and López, though both cars would be disqualified post-race.[41][42][43][44]Fujiproved to be a standout race for Conway, who took the lead from teammateSébastien Buemiin the pits at the halfway mark and extended it to almost 15 seconds, resulting in his first win of the year.[45][46]Another victory followed atShanghai,where Conway held on to first place in spite of the pressure created by the quickerKazuki Nakajimain the closing laps.[47]However, this would be the last win for the #7 that season, as they were held back by a collision with a GT entry atSebringand issues atSpa,where a qualifying lap record by Conway and Kobayashi was undone by a sensor failure which lost them the chance of a podium.[48][49]A win at the2019 Le Mansrace was scuppered within the final hour, as the outfit suffered a puncture which put them behind the sister car.[50][51]Regardless of the Le Mans outcome, the #7 came second in the standings, 41 points behind the #8.[52]
2019–20
edit
For the fifth full season in succession, Conway returned to Toyota in2019–20.The final season of LMP1 regulations began well, as Conway and Kobayashi combined for pole atSilverstonebefore winning the race along with López.[53][54]A second place atFujiand third place to the sister car and the winningRebellion Racingentry inChinapreceded the team's second victory at the2019 8 Hours of Bahrain,where Conway was able to avoid the lap 1 chaos to establish an early advantage.[55][56]The #7 would retain the championship, as they followed a third place in theUnited Stateswith a commanding win atSpaafter theCOVID-inducedbreak.[57]However, they once again lost out on aLe Mansvictory by finishing second to the sister crew; they lost the lead this time thanks to a loss of power caused by a fracture in an exhaust manifold during the early hours of Sunday.[58][59]Consolation would come at the final round inBahrain,where a pole position from Conway and López led to a victory and, eventually, the WEC title.[60][61]
2021
editIn 2021, the newLe Mans Hypercarformula would be introduced, forcing Conway and his teammates to pilot the newToyota GR010 Hybridin theWEC.[62]Having experienced a troubled run atSpawhich relegated the #7 to third behind the grandfathered LMP1 ofAlpineand finished second atPortimão,the trio drove an untroubledMonzarace and won following a short battle with the Alpine.[63][64][65]AtLe Mans,Kobayashi qualified the car on pole.[66]Conway then went on to take a dominant lead after the #8 suffered a crash on the first safety car restart; the #7 team experienced few troubles and won, giving Conway, Kobayashi, and López their first respective victories at the 24 Hours.[67][68][69]The championship lead they had gained would be solidified at the firstBahrainevent where the #7 outpaced the #8 to win for the third time running.[70]Despite losing first place to the sister car at theseason finale,Conway and his teammates ended up retaining the World Championship with a second-place finish, therefore becoming the first titlists in the Hypercar era.[71][72]
2022
edit
The2022 seasonproved to be more difficult: the team suffered a heavy crash atSebringat the hands of López, though they bounced back to win atSpaamidst race-ending issues for the #8.[73][74]Conway had multiple fights for the lead with Buemi atLe Mans,but the team was forced to settle for second after encountering a front-axlemotor–generatorissue during the morning hours.[75][76][77][78]The #7 then finished third atMonza,where a fight with the Alpine resulted in a collision, a penalty for Kobayashi, and a third-place finish.[79]Despite Kobayashi's pole atFujithe team was unable to keep up with the sister car and came second; Conway and his teammates finished the season on a positive note by winning inBahrain,where Conway's pace allowed the team to issue orders toBrendon Hartleyto let the Brit past.[80][81][82]The #7's drivers finished third in the overall table, 16 points behind their teammates.[83]
2023
edit
With an influx of new manufacturers,2023would bring stronger opposition for Toyota.[84]Still, the team managed to start well, as Conway and the #7 won the opening round inSebring.[85]Portimãohowever brought problems, with a failure of a torque sensor necessitating a swap of the left-side driveshaft and resulting in ninth place at the flag.[86]A victory atSpawas followed up by a retirement atLe Mans,where Kobayashi had to retire at midnight following a crash caused by an LMP2 car.[87][88]Despite the virtual impossibility of winning the title at that point, the #7 crew persevered, coming out on top in a lead battle with the #50FerrariatMonza.[89][90]They also triumphed atFuji,once again winning from pole but this time after a long chase of the #6Porsche.[91][92]A runner-up spot atBahrainwas enough for Conway and his teammates to finish second, though they lost out on both the race win and the championship to the #8.[93]
2024
editToyota made a change to its driver lineup for the2024 campaign:López left the team, with Conway and Kobayashi now partnering former reserve driverNyck de Vries.[94]However, Conway would be forced to missLe Mansafter he fractured his ribs and collarbone in a cycling accident a day before the race. Jose Maria López replaced Conway for the Le Mans weekend.[95]
