His best result came at the Hockenheim round of the season, where he finished in third place.

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.
