World Touring Car Masters

Geisler made her WTCM debut at the third round of the 1988 season at the Watkins Glen Circuit with Joest Racing at the wheel of a Class-C Toyota Corolla Levin. She failed to qualify in this highly contested class on her debut and switched to a slower D-Class Corolla Levin at the Norisring round. She would take part in a further four rounds in this car, taking wins at Birmingham and Monza on her way to the Class D championship.

In 1989, Geisler was scouted by Argentinian team Escuderia Hernandez to drive their solitary Nissan Skyline R32 in the top division of WTCM. A year on from her poor showing at Watkins Glen, Geisler took second place overall in both the Endurance and Sprint races on the American circuit.

Following the injuries to Kazuyoshi Hoshino at Kyalami (himself a replacement for Masahiro Hasemi), Geisler was promoted to the works Nismo Motorsport squad for the remainder of the season.
