Career

Driver

Guerrini debuted as a driver in the FIA Alternative Energies Cup, reserved to hybrid and endothermic vehicles, in 2009, together with co-driver Andrea Gnaldi Coleschi.[1] In 2010, Guerrini obtained the 3rd place in the Italian championship standings and the 5th place in the world championship won by the French driver Raymond Durand.[2]

The following year, together with co-driver Emanuele Calchetti on Alfa Romeo MiTo, he finished second both in the World and in the Italian championships, won by Massimo Liverani,[3] and repeated the same result in 2012[4] and in 2013, when with Emanuele Calchetti he won the Hi-Tech Ecomobility Rally in Athens.[5] In 2014, together with Isabelle Barciulli, Guerrini gained another second place in the World cup and the third place in the Italian championship.[6]

Co-driver

In the 2015 season Guerrini took part to the championships as a co-driver, together with driver Nicola Ventura on Abarth 500, finishing at the second place the World championship after Thierry Benchetrit and winning ex-aequo with Valeria Strada the Italian championship.[7][8].

In the 2016 season Ventura and Guerrini on Renault Zoe passed to the category reserved to purely electric cars and they won the World Cup.[9] In 2017 he is taking part to the FIA Electric and New Energies Championship, which joined both the previous hybrid and purely electric categories.

Travels

Guido Guerrini is also a car traveler, the first person to go from Europe to China covering the whole route by a gas-fuelled car.[10][11][12]

The project, called Torino-Pechino, la macchina della pace (Turin-Beijing, the peace machine), was organized in 2008: overall, Guerrini and Andrea Gnaldi Coleschi (born 27 October 1978 in Arezzo, Italy),[13] covered 25,852 km (16,064 mi) using a 1999 Fiat Marea 1.6 16V from the seat of the 2006 Winter Olympics (in Turin) to the seat of the 2008 Summer Olympics (in Beijing) and returning to Italy.[14][15][16] The trip started on 6 July 2008 and passed through 17 countries to finish on 21 September 2008, and used LPG for fuel for 95% of the journey.[10][11][17][18] The project is described in the 2008 book Aregolavanti (Always Forward).[19]

In winter 2011, together with Emanuele Calchetti, he traveled from Rome to Volgograd with a gas-fuelled Gonow pick-up, crossing Eastern Europe, Moldova, Transnistria, Ukraine.[20] This experience originated the travel book Via Stalingrado (Stalingrad Street, 2011).[21]

Among his many other car travels, Guerrini reached the extremes of Europe (North Cape, Istanbul, Gibraltar), and completed an expedition to Caspian Sea through the Caucasian republics in 2010,[22] another travel to Volgograd in december 2013 and january 2014 on Iveco Daily with a mixed system methan-diesel,[23], the Arezzo-Chernobyl' on a methan-propelled Peugeot Expert in the following winter[24] and the Milan-Astana on gpl Seat Altea in 2016.[25].
