Swiss Simona de Silvestro, the driver of the No. 78 KV Racing Technology, Chevrolet powered car in this year's IZOD IndyCar series went to Italy to test the Dallara driving simulator.

Simona qualified a promising third in the streets of St. Petersburg at the opening race last weekend, but well-worn tires at the end made her drop to 6th place at the finish.

She recently went to Italy to try the Dallara simulator. The simulator is not only used to allow the drivers to learn the new circuits, but also to have them validate the set-up of their cars prior to the actual races.
