The challenging schedule for the 19-year-old driver has been put together by CGR’s managing director Mike Hull.
It begins with an IndyCar evaluation on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course (27-28 October), followed by an FIA World Endurance Championship rookie test at Bahrain International Circuit (5 November).
He will then test a previous generation Formula 2 car at Circuit Monteblanco (13-14 November), before a run in a World Series machine at Imola (20-21 November) and a return to the F2 car at Aragon (23-24 November).
It concludes with a return to IndyCar, with a test on the road course at Homestead-Miami Speedway at the end of the month.
“It's going to be a very busy November, but I'm looking forward to it,” Simpson told Autosport.
“I think it'll be very exciting being able to test all these different cars.
“The important thing will be just preparing for next year, getting in high horsepower, high downforce cars getting ready for next year in IndyCar.”
Hull told Autosport: “Frankly, we've seen what goes on with Formula 2, with drivers that have come from there now that have stepped into an Indy car.
“It's a pretty direct crossover for power to weight ratio, tyre degradation and so on. The guys that are currently in IndyCar racing that came from Formula 2 made that step in that transition.
“So, that's why we're doing it with those particular cars. It's good experience. It's a bit compacted in November, but it's good.
“We'll have enough tires to be able to run all day long for two days in a row each, so six days of time. Plus, the test in Bahrain in the Cadillac, it'll be our WEC car, post-race. The open test for rookies is the day after the Bahrain race ends so it's on Sunday of that weekend.”
