Yep. You have to click on the driver history tab to expand and see his more of his racing career.
There is some news starting to roll out about KV Lotus, which has been characteristically quiet this off season. They've rehired almost all of their staff they laid off over the off season and added a few new hands like Tom Wurtz formerly of Team Penske. Also they've completed a multi-year deal with Lotus but don't have their full lineup set yet but Tukuma and E.J. Will be back, and there will be a third entry and/or a part time entry as well.
James Rossiter recently inked deal to essentially be Lotus' stig. He'll do car demos, turn laps around the Nurburgring, off the record testing for Lotus/Renault and potentially some Indy races. If the deal pans out he'll probably be at Long Beach, Baltimore, Alabama, Toronto and Baltimore
Yep, Milka's gone... to a series more commensurate with her skill level. Per jayski
But we may see another woman in Indy car this year. None other than Champ Car's favorite woman. Katherine Legge. According to her twitter page she's been Indy since the sixth and passed her driver's physical today. She didn't come all the way for London for nothing. She's got credentials to the state of the sport tomorrow and she has ties with KK and JV, so add her to the names for the third Lotus entry. She's implying she has a deal done and I know she didn't come all the way from Europe just to be prodded and poked by a doctor. Those who remember Kat from her Champ Car days will remember she's rather blunt. Conflict with her and Simona and/or Danica is all but assured.Quote:
Milka Duno to run ARCA race at Daytona: Sheltra Motorsports, the 2010 ARCA Racing Series presented by Menard's Champion, has signed Milka Duno to run the Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 at Daytona International Speedway. Duno, a driver in the IndyCar Series, will begin her foray with Sheltra Motorsports piloting the #63 Dodge Charger at the newly-repaved Daytona International Speedway for three days of ARCA Racing Series testing January 11-13. Champion crew chief, Jon Wolfe, will work with Duno throughout the test session to get her comfortable, fast and ready for the ARCA Racing Series season opener at DIS on February 12th. "I'm very excited and grateful for this opportunity to test with the 2010 ARCA Racing Series presented by Menard's Championship winning team," said Duno. "Patrick, Jon and Brandon head a very skilled and dedicated organization and having met with them and visited their facility it is easy to see why they are the 2010 champions!" Additional information about Milka Duno's 2011 season will also become available in the next several weeks.(Sheltra Motorsports)(1-10-2011)
Also Conor Daly took his physical today as well. It's probably just procedure, because a lot of drivers are doing physicals this week, most of whom you will never see or hear from, but it bodes well that Daly will be driving in America this year and not GP3
On the subject of Katherine Legge, did I dream her answering a TV interview after her fearsome Road America crash with "I could do with a cup of tea"? Can't find footage of that in any of the interviews, but I'm sure she said it, as it made me both chuckle and respect her reaction to such a scary incident. Be interesting to see how she goes if she does indeed get a seat. Plus it's another Brit to cheer for, which is always nice from this side of the Pond.
Yep, she actually said it right after coming out of the care center. If she runs IndyCar this year (and I fervently hope she does), I don't see any conflicts developing between Katherine and Simona. They're both above, professionally and personally, that kind of childish behavior. Between Katherine/Simona and the Princess, however....Princess would be wise not to try to start anything with Katherine. She would be squashed like a bug.Quote:

Makes a pretty good living but is a little cheesed off he did not get even a F1 test.
Kat's a pistol, and she's got a sharper, quicker wit than Dancia. If she and Danica get into an on track a rivalry might well ensue.Quote:
