E.J. Viso will be testing with Dreyer & Reinbold Racing on December 9th at the famous Sebring Circuit in a one day event. Hugo must really be tossing a lot of money in support of his Venezuelan talent, and DRR is taking all of it.
With Venezuelan Milka Dunno already racing (or pretending) under the DRR flag, a much more talented Viso will be brought in to test new data systems and equipment. Viso, whom currently is without a drive will be looking for employment before season prep really takes off after the holidays.
Rumor currently has the 24 year old either in a DRR machine or even potentially with TCGR. If things go south while stateside, he also has a chance at some GP2 as well. DRR has not made any official announcement, however they have stated they are exploring options at this time but are also very interested in resigning their current lineup. If I was Viso I would either hope for something out of TCGR or go overseas. I would never put myself in a DRR seat.
I have wondered about Milka’s money for a while. I can’t help but think Citgo would be better served putting their money behind a talented Venezuelan like Viso instead. PDVSA is the parent company to Citgo, so it could happen…..
