Career
Formula racing
After graduating from karts, Guerrieri competed in various Formula Renault 2000 championships from 2001 to 2003. He won the Formula Renault 2000 Masters series in 2003, with 124 points and three wins from eight races in total.
For 2004, he took the large step up to Formula 3000, driving for BCN Competición. He performed well in his début year, finishing tied on 28 points in seventh place with compatriot and fellow rookie José María López. His best result came at the Hockenheim round of the season, where he finished in third place.
Despite this impressive showing, Guerrieri was unable to get a drive when F3000 changed into the GP2 Series for 2005, and spent that year and 2006 in the Formula 3 Euro Series, both seasons with Manor Motorsport. He finished fourth in the standings, with 58 points, two wins and two pole positions.
He competed in British Formula 3 for 2007 with Ultimate Motorsport Team finishing thirteenth overall in the final standings. Returning for 2008, he achieved the best result for him and his team with a second place on Monza, the third race of the year. After that race, he moved to the Formula Renault 3.5 Series. He took his first FR3.5 win in the final race of the season. He did however return to F3 at the Bucharest meeting taking a pair of fourth positions.
In 2009, Guerrieri drove for various teams in the Superleague Formula series, winning two races in the process. For 2010 he has returned to Formula Renault 3.5 full-time, although budgetary concerns have caused him to miss races.
In August 2010, Guerrieri revealed that he has a priority contract with the Virgin Racing Formula One team for a 2011 race seat, providing that he can raise $8 million. Guerrieri's manager has held discussions with the Argentine Interior Minister on the subject of possible government funding.[2] The Argentine government has previously provided financial support to compatriot José María López's attempts to enter Formula One.
For the 2011 year Guerrieri went to the United States with the ultimate goal of racing in the IndyCar Series, starting with the Indy Lights. During the 2011 Indy Lights season Guerrieri drove for Sam Schmidt Motorsports.[3] He finished the season runner-up to teammate Josef Newgarden.During the off season he was offered a ride from the KV Racing Technology team but after not being able to get the money to compete in the Indycar Series he made the choice to stay in the United States and run one more year in the Indy Lights with SSM. He finished second in the championship behind his teammate Tristan Vautier.
Touring car racing
In 2013, Guerrieri switched to the Argentinian touring car series Turismo Carretera to drive a Dodge for Oil Competición.[4] He also raced in Top Race V6 for Midas.
Guerrieri joined the Toyota works team for the 2014 Super TC 2000 season, resulting 16th. He was 8th in 2015 and 7th in 2016. The driver moved from Toyota to Citroën for the 2017 season.
In August 2016, he got the chance from Campos Racing to compete in the Argentina round of the World Touring Car Championship with a Chevrolet Cruze TC1 car alongside John Filippi.[5] Guerrieri was successful on his first appearance as he went through to the final part of the Qualifying Session and finished the Main Race in sixth.
For the 2017 WTCC season, the Argentinian became full-time driver at Campos Racing, driving the team's only car.[6] He won the Opening Race in Marrakesh and China. After that, the Honda factory squad signed him to replace the injured Tiago Monteiro for the final three rounds to help Norbert Michelisz in the title fight against Volvo's Thed Björk. He took the win on the final race at Qatar, Losail and ended up the Drivers' Standings in fourth with 241 points.
For the 2018 FIA WTCR, Guerrieri joined ALL-INKL.COM Münnich Motorsport to drive a Honda Civic TCR.[7]
