Quick question. How do you travel to races? Flight, I assume? Do you and your team fly together, or how does that work?

[@waltersbg]

I see in a reply to one of the comments that you answered the burning question of what happened in race 2 and how you were even able to come out for race 3 -- fuel pump. That clears that up. But was the fuel pump the reason for your earlier struggles with straight line speed compared to the other cars in your class? In race 3 you mention the frustration of being slower on the straights than a higher-class car, which is to be expected, but I'm not clear on whether the new fuel pump helped address your deficit in straight line speed compared to cars in your class. Will Radical look at what's wrong or is it completely up to your team to figure it out?

[@MJ-ug5mo]

Love your journey but please answer some of our comments.

[@SuellioAlmeida]

@@imeatingnemo4412 I fly with Andrew (my editor) and we meet the team on track. We generally share AirBNBs close to the track!

[@simpilot001]

Because of how great of a driver you are, people keep forgetting to give props to the editor. Good job editor 👍

[@RudiRoelofse]

I agree

[@IAMJRAD]

Ya the editor is amazing

[@cyancut21]

@simplilot001 You can be proud of yourself too for thinking of that👏

[@emanuelederiu5154]

yea but next time catch the name :D at 2:37

[@luzmakarieva9880]

The editor who made this... is the Suellio of After Effects!!!

[@kevward03]

Suellio's car got nerfed

[@father_dean]

had to BOP him

[@Grandilex]

And still was in 4th, that 3rd place is deserved in my opinion

[@CameronDasRacing]

So glad I got to come watch this in person! Man, you've come so far in your IRL driving... If this is what round 1 looks like, race wins are only a matter of time this year. Keep pushing... (Also, a good engine would certainly help lol)

[@robbeezzyysdad4463]

Cameron when i first saw you in the video my jaw dropped!! That was unexpected seeing you there you and suellio are my favorite KZbinrs

[@dandragomir1189]

Hey now, don't get bummed over a podium. A win is a win, you fought hard with everyone on track and got the best out of the car even if it wasn't acting right. And even if you got discouraged, you brought it home just the same way you put it on the grid, which is great for a first round of any championship. Holding your own and keeping up pace is what you need to do to lead a race, you're having technical issues with the car so that can't be helped. But you got there in the end, you showed sportsmanship and p1 didn't. Enjoy that trophy not because of the race but what took to get here! Good luck and merry laps to you!

[@henlinngodnum7055]

brro im not a racing fan or a car guy, but i just randomly found myself binge watching all your episodes of real life racing! the way you story tell and your voice overs are just very interesting to watch and listen to! dang

[@HolocronHub13]

Jesus, Sebring is so bumpy in reality. Props to you Suellio, you are my icon and I wish you only the best in racing!

[@RIP212]

Heh. If you have a fixed camera setting in iracing then it should be no surprise :) But yeah, crazy bumpy.

[@montxogandia]

@@RIP212ffb in iracing in sebring makes it feel flat, there is no movement on the wheel, in LMU/rF2 for example it really shakes your wheel like in Suellio's pov.

[@fitzey3996]

@@montxogandiatry a car without power steering, I find it feels really bumpy

[@m.mccormick0]

I thought that you were waffling about when i saw your racecraft video talking about "mind punts", i thought it was stupid, but i cant believe it actually works in real life! Thats incredible!

[@ArjanSchepers]

Yeah I’m starting to get the idea this Suellio dude knows a thing or two about racing. Seriously though, this is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. Also the tips he gives work, I gained half a second in IRacing because of him.

[@BrianLagerstrom]

SICK VID!!!!!!! Best of Luck in Round 2

[@shaunster2]

Just remember you’re doing what everyone in IRacing wants to do. This weekend I will be starting my iRacing career

[@gergodanko1336]

Awesome, please keep it this way, don't shorten it. And a podium is a podium! 🎉

[@RudiRoelofse]

Course member here in absolutely everything he offers and its good , but today want to truly give props the editor…. Looks like you had good fun most important. I spoiled myself with new Porsche wheelrim today for fanatec sim setup, always joy to be found in motorsport

[@uhuebner]

Aside from that racing madness your videos have an outstanding dramaturgy. The way you build up tension matches high budget documentaries. Awesome! Kudos to the editor!

[@Specialblend777]

Glory comes from the accumulation of experiences like this. Also, let the driver whose mistake cost him the podium experience the disappointment. Isn't racing not only about execution but also taking advantage of the mistakes of others? I just found you and your channel after dipping a toe in sim racing. This is what life is about. Keep living it.

[@Jardier]

Damn that was awesome, also 17:24 omg that was SO CLOSE! Well done mate!

[@marcusmiller8267]

It was interesting seeing the races unfold, and seeing the emotions and thoughts that go through a drivers mind as the races progress. Suellio, you already know what's needed to acquire pace (I'm a customer). You already have demonstrated the nerve it takes. I would say you were only lacking the experience, except for the fact that you already act like a pro, given how rapidly you adapt, and how well you communicate with the team. Your attitude is exceptional as well. You should be very proud.

[@BuzzRaces_]

So fucking proud of you bro! Start of a massive journey, im here for it 😎

[@now1313]

I want to recommend the course. Suellio is an amazing teacher, I started to enjoy driving much more because of understanding of what did I do wrong and what could be done better. It’s not easy to transfer knowledge into skill but this process became much more clear and therefore enjoyable for me. Thank you, mate! Good luck in future races!

[@pangalost8543]

we're proud of you no matter what and we'll be with you no matter how rough it will be. keep it up!!!

[@Yabi19]

You're doing the right thing. Don't worry. We LOVE watching how a Sim Racer is SENDING IT!

[@descobarser]

Love the new suit! Your editor is earning his pay here. The new format is solid! Nice work here keeping up in an underpowered car too!

[@Motoracer0172]

I've been watching you for a little while now , and I can confidently say that you my man are extremely talented behind the wheel. I've been racing for many many years, and it has been a LONG time since I've come across a young driver with such talent behind the wheel. Many young drivers get discouraged after set backs like engine failures etc, and they show it on the track. You however, your a different breed. Keep up the hard work , it most certainly is paying dividends! Great Job on race day, I believe your a hero to all Sim racers out there who want to become real drivers. Never give up, keep pushing.

[@MonopostoMerchant]

5:09 funniest thing is there was time in it as well! Very encouraging sign there🔥

[@jonathan350]

Wait wait, this was huge! First race, small mistake, huge cost, still the first time driving the car. Second race, unlucky. Third race, you a got a podium on your first full race! Common man, this is amazing! Super excited to see when you get the engine fixed, the battles are going to be huge! I would be down to become a member and have access to more content with full races on it! To support you, and to be able to actually watch! On other thing, I don't if it's possible or not, but I miss the HUD :/ Brake, Throttle, maybe cars ahead of you and who they are and the one behind. I don't really know if it's possible or not, but it would be great. Props to the editor, this is great! Keep the good work! #Brasilllll

[@Mik4ael]

Great drive man ! I can feel your frustration when you are losing on the straight, I hope that you will resolve the issue in the next races.

[@liheg]

I really appreciate the insight. I myself am just an amateur, barely even in Simracing or Karting yet, but on my way to make it my main hobby. And learning about racing, or (semi-) pro racers like you telling storys about their experience really motivates me to broaden my horizon and dive deeper into the scene. Hope, you'll do more videos like this. Anyways i will keep up with your content Suellio 😊

[@JohnGeorgeHill]

This guy is a future star. He’s got the right personality and he’s even a good-looking kid. He’s been real helpful to everyone in iRacing, sharing his expertise with others. good luck in the future.

[@RRodrigues18]

Vamo nessa cara... Foco e força Brasil tá junto

[@francktitanic8271]

That was insane! Absolutely brilliant stuff, everything, from the video, the story telling, and of course the races. Just a shame the car decided to give up on straights and reliability. I feel like you went through nearly all of the race mindsets, DNF, small mistake, a "weird podium" (You definitely deserve it) but yeah. It's just gonna make you stronger. Looking forward to the next race! Give it everything, such a strong start, we're all behind you Suellio!

[@m.mccormick0]

Mate seing your onboard i realise how bloody bumpy Sebring is! It must be so challenging racing it with a Radical.

[@Timegravel]

This is pretty incredible to watch! Because your car was "nerfed" made it very exciting to see how you delt with the pressure from the red car always cathing up. Everytime there's dustsmoke or someone getting off track and trying to get back is frightening to watch. Also it looks like there is a lot of force upon the steering wheel when cornering and there's bumps and such. Makes you wonder how that feels compared to sim, like how many Newton Meters that feels like? Great driving and video. Looking forward to the next one!

[@hammer313]

this is so exciting. I was an occasional viewer last year for your sim racing driving tips which I really enjoyed, but this is amazing. better than netflix dude.

[@mixedsurface]

This is some of the best-edited racing content I have seen on any channel, YT or otherwise. Awesome format. Race on, and please keep making more videos like this!!!

[@alecmillea4539]

This video format was great man! It was a very entertaining video! Can’t wait to see what you’ll be able to do next time with a competitive car!

[@jerometerbrack9999]

Your journey has been amazing man! Props to you

[@luzmakarieva9880]

If I enjoy this format??? HELL YEAH!!! but not forget to keep uploading tips and trick which put you in that car in the 1st place. Kudos for the p3, for a new car and a rookie I think it is flawless.

[@robertschroer5794]

I love these videos so much! Thank you so much :) I used to do karting when I was young and im gonna get me a decent rig for sim racing for ma birthday :3 Cant wait to get to a point to sign up for your courses! I think you are doing by far the best training videos on YT !! All love from germany

[@snail3]

this is just so pleasant to watch. F1 level of camera work

[@Switch_X_Back3884]

I believe in you. And always will support you as a fellow sim racer. You are proving not all good drivers have a chance bc of money. There are better drivers out there. And sim racing is proving this. You have the skill, and the talent. Get in there, Suellio.

[@ViniciusMacedo88]

Dude, I'm so proud to see a fellow Brazilian thriving in a such competitive career, I want to see you racing, do have a racing schedule, any races near Philadelphia - PA? Would be great to watch you racing and maybe hang out afterwards. You are doing great, do let frustration wear you down Cheers

[@hunterernst87]

Dude this video is like a full-scale documentary. Congrats on the result and great editing! Thanks Suellio and best of luck in round 2!

[@DouglasThom]

AMAZING!! Thank you so much for welcoming us on your fantastic journey. This is great. Yes, please, more!!

[@Holdt15]

Brilliant. Both video and racing. Congrats Suellio!

[@troggy4404]

You're gonna be a force to be reckoned with. In a world where so many people just seem happy to be there, watching your reaction to getting put on the podium by the stewards tells me all I need to know about what type of driver you are. Good luck boss. give em hell

[@kingston21x]

This is litteraly the best racing series I watched on YT. Keep it up Suellio. You are doing everything well. Best of luck for the rest of the championship.

[@brendanariki]

Awesome dude. Keep showing the world your heroic journey.

[@CardoDoza]

Always strive to be the best but also make sure you take in those little moments. So awesome to see you grow in your racing career!

[@recarsion]

Hi Suellio, first of all congrats on the races even if they didn't go as planned, even being there is an achievement! Second, now that you've experienced racing in sim and real life, you probably needed to develop some tactics to cope with the psychological side. At the moment I'm really struggling, I can do an okay pace on my own but once there are other racers around me, I can't get the same performance. I'm nervous, I feel warm, I sweat, I don't quite have the confidence and as a result simply drive worse than I do on my own. I'm usually pretty good in qualy but then stumble down the order in the first third of a race. Later once things have settled a bit and I can get into a rhythm, I usually find my pace again but by that point I'm down quite a bit.

[@earthlingtheaaron21]

Can't wait to see you get a good engine and really compete. I also just want to say don't get down on yourself. You know you're fast. You know you're talented and well-practiced. All you have to do is focus on maximizing the skills and routines you already know and have practiced and good results are going to come. We believe in you!

[@johnelectric933]

You video quality is a good as your driving experience! Great work. I will follow you as long as you keep posting. Once I get my rig back up I will also be a client!

[@mcthomas7779]

Meu man... fez bem irmao.. so traz outro pódium p nois kkk

[@daboss117fly]

Bro, you got this! You see his aggressive style, you need to drive that way. Stop driving like your sin racing friends and drive like you are wanting that W. Throw blocks squeeze, whatever you can do without penalty. Get that friendly Sim racing mindset out of your head. That's real life racing, get your elbows out and fight. I know he has straight line speed, but you have cornering. Use that to your strength! When you are running ahead on the straight and he's catching into a corner, squeeze him or block enough to keep your cornering advantage. I know you have the ability to win, even with the disadvantage. Good luck and can't wait to see more👍

[@shockinho]

Incredible journey. Fighting adversity is one of the marks of a champion. Keep it up!! I'm 100% you are going to cruise to victory once your car is fixed!

[@SergejGrabun]

Great edit, the flashing car of your direct opponent is super cool, the narrative, story telling - all is very good. Good luck sorting out straight line speed

[@filipk5744]

This is amazing, being able to compete with IRL without full engine power. Bravo, we are proud of you! I'm watching your tutorials and I already cut my gap by more than half without even buying your course (I was more than 8s slower everywhere and now I'm 4s slower and it's getting better and better apart from my consistent mistakes) I think at age of 19 it is much to late for me to dream about racing irl or even being pro simracer but I'm prepparing myself to buy your checklist and praticing every day just to see how far I can get :D

[@CameronBarrett14]

This was awesome. Would love to see more like this. Some of the examples you gave of red being faster on straights ended up looking like you braking into corners earlier, even though clearly, you were faster through them. It's hard to tell in the format, though this is the best I've seen in a bit. Any analysis would be cool to see. Keep up the awesome stuff!

[@oBaTaTa06]

Suellio, você conseguir um pódio com um carro MUITO mais lento nas retas é algo muito impressionante. Os videos desse tipo são incriveis e demonstram o quão bom você é, nunca desanime da sua carreira nas pistas, você é muito fera. Se o seu carro tivesse 100% com total certeza você conseguiria p2 ou até p1, por favor não desista dessa sua carreira crescendo cada vez mais, você vai conseguir ir bem neste campeonato, te admiro muito. Tamo junto!

[@TechNerdRudy]

LETS GO LEGEND

[@jamesbrown23]

great video. I typically click away when its racing POV. but this was different. Really enjoyed the commentary! Keep up the great videos

[@IAmUltraMAGA]

One of the best videos you’ve done. If not the best.

[@gechelem23]

Suellio, i know I dont know much about real world racing but you are doing an amazing job in my eyes. Your passion, drive, and work ethic is championship worthy. I know the wins and championships will follow!

[@paulmdevenney]

loved this video - thumbs up to the editor for the excellent call out of the racing classes of the vehicles in front.

[@EduKep-Games]

Vai, garoto! Estou torcendo por você. Talento você tem de sobra. Confio em ti! Baita abraço daqui do Brasil!!!

[@steveseybolt]

Your living our Dreams as well. If your watching this you know. Keep your head up you are a great driver and it will get better cant wait for the next update!

[@PinkiesBrain]

Suellio- you got this! Your team is right, get the car fixed and your will get the placement you deserve. It is there. It is not a matter of believe - it is obvious fact. Just focus on fixing the car and the rest will fall into its place.

[@jitsemiedema7423]

Loved the video. Perfect editing. I could watch videos like this all day. This is better than F1, hand down. Hats off. Keep it up!

[@balticDub]

This format is absolutely insane. Please keep it up :D Also absolutely impressive driving overall and especially considering the nerves and a sub-par car. Really blown away right now!! Edit: Yeah also the editing was supreme. Big up for that as well!

[@GouldGroupKW]

So frustrating for you but, hopefully the engine gets sorted and you get that win 👍

[@jasenburke4135]

This content is incredible, but I'm left wanting MORE!!! More pit talk! More explanations about the DNF. So proud of you. Allow yourself to enjoy it. I'd love a long form content video to be released alongside this shorter highlight form. Having both would be incredible.

[@capta1nsp4ce]

You have a lot of talent, keep the pace up and please upload more videos like this! we love them!

[@cottagelife50]

AMAZING. I was glued to the end. Awesome racing and agree with a number of the other comments. You rocked it. I just discovered you. I'm a Radical owner and would appreciate anything you can share for the right SIM set up. I will dig into your Motor Racing Checklist and will likely sign up. Just need to know what to buy. Look forward to following you.

[@thiagoandreolli]

awesome races, excellent content, I can't wait for more. Just a feedback in the sound, for some reason the sound in the last race was worse than the first 2 races. The edition, showing position and everything made the difference!

[@simracingchannel7691]

I love the format and i think you are doing great. Can definitely see the potential. Wish there was more back story. Like what happened to the engine ? Are you gonna need a new engine ? Do you have mechanics ? Stuff like that i would like to know.

[@DillandShaj]

Bro you fought hard 100%. Don't let yourself down. With an under powered car I think you fully cemented your position as someone to look out for in that series. Keep going!

[@RyanBecker]

I don't know how I missed this Radical cup! I didn't even realize it came to Sebring! Sebring is only a couple of hours away from me and I would have loved to come out to support you! I am going to start tracking the calendar for sure. Great video as always and thank you for the inside look at all these different parts of your journey!

[@Jannik_der_andere]

Pls more of these Videos really nice camarea work! You even got a better Helm camera than F!

No question this is the right thing for you to do! Best vid from you yet, i was glued to it until the end. Race On!

[@bearbrotuska]

Lmao Cameron just popping out of no where was not that funny but made me smile to see you 2 become such good friends

[@cyancut21]

When you said you need to figure out a camera position because of the halo and the added drag I was hoping for an in-helmet cam. That angle looks amazing!
