As Auto123.com had already revealed days ago, KV Racing has now confirmed officially that Swiss driver Simona de Silvestro will join the team for the 2013 IndyCar campaign and already did her first laps Monday at Barber Motorsports Park.
Simona de Silvestro was impressed with the Chevrolet engine and found that it was everything she was hoping for after making her first outing with KV Racing alongside her future partner Tony Kanaan.
In 2012, driving for the HVM Racing squad, the 24-year old driver had her share of disappointment having to compete with the uncompetitive Lotus powerplant but, still, managed to make some impressive showing especially on street courses.
Good news for de Silvestro, veteran open-wheel engineer Gerald Tyler, who worked for her at HVM, will follow her at KV Racing for 2013.
Were also present at the Barber test, Ganassi Racing’s Dario Franchitti, Scott Dixon and Charlie Kimball along with Dale Coyne Racing’s Justin Wilson.
