Esteban Guerrieri (born 19 January 1985) is an Argentine professional racing driver currently active in the FIA TCR World Tour representing the GOAT Racing squad with Honda. His formative years in single-seater racing were marked by notable achievements such as clinching the Formula Renault Eurocup title in 2003, securing third place in the 2010 Formula Renault 3.5 championship, and finishing as runner-up in the Indy Lights series for both 2011 and 2012. Within the WTCR, Guerrieri stands as the driver with the highest number of race victories and was the overall runner-up in the 2019 season. Additionally, he triumphed in the TCR category at the Nürburgring 24 Hours in 2020.

Formula racing

Progressing from karting, Guerrieri participated in multiple Formula Renault 2000 competitions between 2001 and 2003, notably capturing the Formula Renault 2000 Masters championship in 2003 by accumulating 124 points alongside three wins out of eight races.

In 2004, he stepped up to Formula 3000 with BCN Competición, concluding the season seventh in the standings with a total of 28 points and a podium finish at Hockenheim. However, when Formula 3000 evolved into GP2 in 2005, Guerrieri was unable to secure a seat and consequently spent two seasons (2005–2006) competing in the Formula 3 Euro Series for Manor Motorsport, where he achieved fourth place overall, including two victories and two pole positions.

The year 2007 saw him compete in British Formula 3 with Ultimate Motorsport, ending the campaign thirteenth. Returning to British F3 in 2008, his best result was a second-place finish at Monza before transferring mid-season to the Formula Renault 3.5 Series, where he won the final race of that year. He also made a brief return to Formula 3 at Bucharest, recording two fourth-place finishes.

Guerrieri raced in Superleague Formula during 2009, securing two wins. He returned full-time to Formula Renault 3.5 in 2010 but missed several rounds due to financial difficulties.

In August of that year, Guerrieri announced a priority agreement with Virgin Racing's Formula One team for a potential race seat in 2011, contingent on raising $8 million. Reports indicated negotiations for government support, following a precedent set by fellow Argentine driver José María López.

Shifting his focus to American motorsport in 2011, Guerrieri pursued an IndyCar career path by joining Sam Schmidt Motorsports in Indy Lights. He finished second behind teammate Josef Newgarden with three victories. The following year, he again secured runner-up status behind teammate Tristan Vautier, winning three races including the prestigious Indianapolis 500 support event. Due to budgetary constraints, he returned to Argentina for competition in 2013.

Argentina

In 2013, Guerrieri entered Argentina’s touring car scene competing in Turismo Carretera, piloting a Dodge for Oil Competición. Concurrently, he participated in Top Race V6 events with Midas Racing Team.

Between 2009 and 2011, Guerrieri made guest appearances across various TC 2000 races, highlighted by winning the 200 km de Buenos Aires endurance race in 2011. In 2014, he joined Toyota's lineup for the Súper TC 2000 championship. His results improved progressively: sixteenth place overall in his debut year; eighth place with one victory in 2015; and seventh place accompanied by another win during the 2016 season. In 2017, he switched allegiance to Citroën and concluded the season eleventh overall with one win.

World Touring Cars

Guerrieri made his World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) debut at the Argentinian round in August 2016 driving a Chevrolet Cruze TC1 for Campos Racing. He achieved sixth place in the feature race and recorded the weekend’s fastest lap.

For the full WTCC campaign of 2017, Guerrieri became Campos Racing’s sole full-time driver. He secured victories in the opening rounds held at Marrakech and China. Later that season, Honda signed him as a replacement for injured driver Tiago Monteiro; Guerrieri earned pole position and won a race at Qatar before finishing fourth overall in the championship standings.

When WTCC transitioned into the World Touring Car Cup (WTCR) format for the 2018 season, Guerrieri remained with Honda under Münnich Motorsport. He claimed wins at Nürburgring and Macau circuits and ended third overall. In the following year’s championship (2019), he captured four race wins and finished as runner-up while being recognized as WTCR’s top driver by TouringCarTimes.

During the truncated season of 2020, Guerrieri matched his previous tally of four victories and set a new benchmark as WTCR’s all-time leader in race wins while finishing fourth overall. Across both the 2021 and 2022 seasons, he added five podium finishes but did not secure any wins, concluding sixth and eighth respectively. With WTCR ceasing after its final season in 2022, Guerrieri holds distinction as its most victorious competitor.

In preparation for the inaugural FIA TCR World Tour campaign of 2024, Guerrieri signed with GOAT Racing’s Honda squad.

Hypercar tenure

In the year 2023, Guerrieri became a member of the Floyd Vanwall Racing Team competing in the 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship. He shared driving duties of the Vanwall Vandervell 680 with teammates Tom Dillmann and Jacques Villeneuve. The team managed to secure points only once, achieving an eighth-place finish at the 2023 1000 Miles of Sebring. During the 2023 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, Guerrieri experienced a spin, which was followed by Villeneuve's crash that ended their race. Making his first appearance at the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans, Guerrieri's Vanwall entry retired on lap 165 due to engine failure, compounded by persistent powertrain and suspension complications. Participating in every event throughout the season, Guerrieri concluded the championship in 16th position. After Vanwall's unsuccessful attempt to continue in the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship, Guerrieri transitioned back to touring car racing.
