Venezuelan pilot Milka Duno will take east part Thursday, Friday and Saturday in the collective tests of the championship Rolex Grand American, tests that will be disputed in the oval of Daytona, to the north of the state of Florida, and where they will be in action near thirty prototypes besides about forty cars GT.
Milka will be accompanied by Canadian Patrick Carpentier in the Pontiac Riley of the equipment Samax Motorsport that counts on the endorsement of Citgo. In these tests also the names of the other two pilots will be defined who will take the exit in the classic test long play that he will be disputed between 27 and 28 of January.
During the training conducted in November and December in the tracks of Daytona and Homestead, the vehicle identified with number 11 of Milka Duno was always placed between the first places, which allows the native of Caracas to be very optimistic facing its fifth presentation in the 24 Hours of Daytona. In edition 2005, Duno concluded in the eighth absolute place, becoming the first woman in 44 years of history of that race in crossing the goal between the ten best ones classified.
These three days of tests are going to allow to us to concentrate us to find the ideal balance with a view to the race of 24 hours - Milka comments - in my four previous presentations never before had counted with a car with so good yield, reason why all in the Samax equipment we have much confidence in reaching a wonderful result. The greater difference than we will find in relation to the training that we realized here in November will be the temperatures, low, much more similar to which we will have by the end of month when the race is realized .
The Riley prototype impelled by a Pontiac motor of the Samax equipment completely was modified when culminating the last season, correcting many of the disadvantages that confronted throughout the fifteen valid ones, especially in the electronic aspect. The work could not be more effective and during the past training realized in Daytona and Homestead it always stayed between the five best ones, figuration than hopes to repeat in the new campaign and to even fight by the victory.
During the three days of general training they will be in action near seventy machines and eight turns of tests to different hours from the day will take place, although no of them will be realized in schedule nocturne. The oval of Daytona has an extension of 5696 meters and combines the section of high speed in peralte and the drawn up one internal, transforms that it into one of the circuits technically more demanding of the championship.
