Anneliese Letícia Devereux Monte is a Lisander racing driver who is racing for Eminent in WGPC. Supported by Harlean Motors, a local sports cars manufacturer, she was the star of TAS Alliance Racing, the lisanderian team that joined WGPC 18. She finished that season in 22nd place. Following, she moved to WGP2, where she also received backing from Bitten Heroes Academy, while driving for the Hodoran team, PrismRiver Racing. She finished fifteenth in the WGP2 Season 4, returning definitely for WGPC in the following season for Eminent, a team co-owned by Bitten Heroes and Fireline Motorsports. She finished 15th that season.

Personal Life

Anneliese Devereux was born on 23 February 1996 in Soria, Lisander, the only daughter of Lia Devereux, a cook, and Adam Monte, a car mechanic. She was born in the midst of the last great economic crisis that hit Lisander. For some time, she and her family had to live on a welfare payment, and she studied in her neighbourhood local orphanage. When she was 12, her father started to work in a workshop that prepared racing cars and karts. Adam was already a fan of motorsports and while visiting her father's work, Anneliese got curious about those small vehicles and how they could race. From that age, her father would take her to drive sometimes.

Anneliese was educated at the Girls' School of the Saint Marian Orphanage, in southwestern Soria, as this was the nearest public school to her home because at the time she was to be enrolled in school, there was no other public school in the area, and her family could not send her to schools in other neighbourhoods because they could not afford the transportation fees. Anneliese was the only student who did not live in the orphanage, so she was popular among the other girls. At the age of 14, she joined the College's Field Hockey team, which she would remain until she was 17. She was good with the stick, having been two times junior metropolitan champion with St. Marian in 2011 and 2012. She even was invited to join the prestigious St. Helens Club hockey team. However, professionalization in hockey was still a risky bet. "She was always that fast. If she had followed with hockey, she could have reached the national team", Justine Mortensen once said. Mortensen was the coach of the St. Helens U-18 team at the time Anneliese was playing.

Later, Anneliese even played Field Hockey as a substitute in some LAN University League matches when a friend of hers got injured. She scored two goals in eight games she played when she was in her second year of college, 2014.

Karting Career

Although she started later than most of the other children, her good physical fitness coming from school sports and her constant interest in learning, combined with a cautious driving style, gave her a reputation as a reliable driver in karts. Aware that her parents' financial resources were limited, she avoided stronger categories of karting until she was 16 until she got a more solid sponsorship, the first after the workshop where her father worked. She herself helped with the maintenance and repairs that had to be done because she didn't like damaging the cars. She knew that if she damaged a chassis, she would be out of racing for two or three months until her father could replace all the parts. Over the next two years, while finishing her education at St. Marian's, she participated in championships in both field hockey and karting. In the 2011 Metropolitan Karting Championship, she placed third behind Kevin Venn and Juliano Lemos (who at the time already had a contract with Maud Racing). The following year, she was champion in the Regional Trophy and in Junior Trophy of the National Karting Championship, and fourth in the Open category, sharing the track with adults. At 18, torn between hockey and motors, Anneliese decided to pursue a career as a driver while starting a mechanical engineering degree at Politechnica Soria.

Academic Seasons

Without a sponsor to take her straight to F3 Lisander, Anneliese decided to try her hand at a degree in mechanical engineering, and her background in karts caught the eye of the university's racing team. In the first season, between 2013 and 2014, the team of the first and second-year students worked with Superkarts. Politechnica took third place in the team trophy In the second season, between 2014 and 2015, the second and third-years moved to Formula 1000. For the first three years of college, Anneliese was divided between being an engineer, mechanic and driver in both cars. With Superkarts, it was easier for Anneliese, since he had the experience, and the university team took second place in the Team Trophy. The switch from Superkarts to Formula, however, was not good for the team. The Formula 1000 car was admittedly difficult to handle and Anneliese only took the team to sixth place in 2015. 2016 saw big changes in the F1000. The National Academic League decides to stop financing the category, which becomes open to sponsors, and with their support, it evolves the category into a Formula 4, more similar to the top cars. Politechnica is supported by the Polaris Racing Team. Anneliese, after three years on the course, leaves the team of engineers and mechanics to follow only as a driver, with a pre-contract signed with Polaris, starting to apply when she gets her engineering degree. However, splitting her time between driving and studying, Anneliese ends up not having the best season, finishing only seventh. At the end of the season, she received her degree and starts working with the Polaris team as a reserve driver and volunteer assistant engineer.

F4 and F3, then WGP3

In 2017, the Lisander Motorsports scene was in high spirits due to Bitten Heroes' entry into the WGPC. However, Team Polaris, Anneliese's team, foresaw a problem. At the time, there was a Team Polaris, from Nekoni, in the WGPC, so in order to avoid legal issues, the team made a heavy investment in changing its visual identity, becoming Team DWG. And as this was done right in the middle of the season, the team ended up spending money that would have been used on improvements to the cars. Anneliese continued in F4, but with cost-cutting and the search for sponsors intended to cover the costly rebrand, she was promoted to F3 in the last two rounds at Grandeville. At the end of that season, she was only sixth in F4. In F3, she didn't score any points but was counted as 29th in the overall standings.

In 2018, in order to join the WGPC Experience system, Lisander Autosports Board rebranded Formula 3 Lisander into WGP3 Alpha League, and opened signups for other nations in Imperan League.
