Conor Daly To Complete Aero Test For Force India

GP3 driver Conor Daly will get his first taste of F1 machinery later today, as the American driver conducts a straight-line aero test at Gloucestershire’s Cotswold Airport for the Force India team. This test will allow the Silverstone-based team to compare their data acquired from the wind tunnel with actual track data.

Fresh from his sprint race victory during the opening round of the GP3 Series in Barcelona last weekend, the 20-year-old American visited the Force India factory on Tuesday. During his visit, Daly completed a seat-fitting in preparation for his run in the car and also met the engineers which he’ll work with throughout the day. This was also a perfect time for Daly to familiarize himself with the various systems on an F1 car, including the vast amount of dials and switches on the steering wheel.

Conor Daly, son of former-F1 driver Derek Daly, is currently lying 2nd in the GP3 Drivers’ Championship after a highly competitive opening weekend in the series. He’ll be hoping his outing for the Force India team set him up in good stead for the remainder of the 2012 season, as he strives to win further races in GP3.
