Lady Racer for Formula Tasman

The Formula Tasman ranks are set to be joined by a new outright contender and she means business!

Michele Guyer is relatively new to motorsport, having obtained her licence in late 2006. She cut her teeth shortly thereafter in hillclimbing, competing at a variety of events, and improving with every outing, most recently setting a number of "Fastest Time of Day" (FTD) in her striking 1987 March Formula 4000. Guyer credits Erol Richardson with convincing her to venture into open-wheelers. Richardson is an accomplished engineer, also known as the brains behind Bob Muir's Lexus V8-powered Reynard 94D, and under his tutelage, Michele is expected to perform strongly in Formula Tasman.

Guyer has previously driven at Wakefield Park, Oran Park and Fairbairn (ACT). When she's not setting FTDs, she works as an IT Manager, and she lists her racing highlight (so far) as when:
"SDMA presented me with the “Effort Par Excellence” award for being the only lady to win an event outright, the only lady to get under 50 seconds for this track (44) and the only lady to win FTD in their history with a special mention of consistently achieving a PB at each meeting."

Guyer's car is a 1987 March, powered by a 3800cc Holden V6, and with engineering by Erol Richardson, should prove to be a formidable weapon.
