Being on a one car team puts you at an immediate disadvantage anywhere you go, but it will hurt Simona even more on the ovals as set-up is paramount and the engineers won't have as much data to go by. Being quick on an oval is not terribly difficult given a well set-up car as many drivers that have come from road racing backgrounds have proven and that includes Danica, who won 2/3 poles back in her first season of Indycar racing. Katherine Legge also had one of her best races in ChampCar on the oval at Milwaukee in 2006.
