Guy Bassett (born 29 July 1986) is a Beriquois racing driver currently driving in Astyrian Formula One for the Sidus F1 Racing Team, having previously competed in the sport for Raamaker and Angelbridge. He was the Beriquois Formula Raamaker champion of 2006, Lorecian Formula Three champion of 2007, Astyrian Formula Three champion of 2008, and Astyrian Formula Two champion of 2010. His Formula One debut was in 2011 with the Raamaker F1 team.

In 2012, he scored his first podium at the Kelonnan Grand Prix, where his finished 3rd. He moved to Angelbridge alongside Zander Rico in 2013, where he would score three more podiums. In 2014, Bassett and Rico pushed the team to win their one and only Constructors' Championship, and he won his first career victory at the 2014 Caprican Grand Prix. He moved to Sidus in 2015, partnering with Simo Rassinen, winning two more victories that year, and once again helped the team towards their 3rd Constructors' Championship.

From 2016 to 2018, Bassett endured a winless drought, although he was able to score multiple podiums in that time. However, he would win once more in 2019 at the Nikolian Grand Prix, having fended off Steven Grey for the win. He would then score two victories each in the 2020 and 2021 seasons, the former of which being the year that Sidus won their 4th Constructors' Title. His current contract to drive for Sidus remains in place until 2023.
