Guido’s career as a team manager has already started (in 2014 he had won the UIM World Endurance circuit with the the russian New Star Team) , when in 2015 he received an invitation from the Sheikh of Abu Dhabi, HH. Dr. Sheick Sultan Bin Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, to become the manager of the Inshore teams of the Abu Dhabi Team – which take part at the world championships F1 and F2 – succeeding Mr Scott Gillman.
From that day, he moved with his family to the United Arab Emirates and reorganized the Abu Dhabi Team, taking care of the Inshore teams of F1 (in the meantime named World Championship FH2O) and of F2. He brought with him the Dac team: Attilio Donzelli, Giacomino Curti, his cousin Denis and revolutionized the management of the team, exalting the talents of the already established drivers and making young riders grow, including some new drivers from the United Arab Emirates.
