[@Driver61]

Radicals are absolutely awesome cars. Look like you had fun!

[@SuellioAlmeida]

A mix of all emotions possible hahaha

[@paulolellis5708]

Would love to see a duel between you guys, sim and metal! You both my heroes and I can’t no longer wait to see you “de ponta-cabeça” 😊😃

[@TimKreatifV24]

Wow D61 😮

[@Jimmy_Broadbent]

I had a similar experience the first time I got in the Praga. You don't beleive that the car can do the things it's designed to do and it took time to work up to it. You did got there a hell of a lot quicker than I did tho, I was scared shitless lmao.

[@SuellioAlmeida]

I never forgot when you told me it takes more or less a year to actually adapt and become competitive in real life. I'm slowly getting there and being patient! Honor to have you here Jimmer

[@maxthecooldude4873]

A race between you 2 would be amazing! Both fast drivers!!!

[@bro_duck]

Honestly it's amazing how far you've come of your racing carreer, keep it up man!

[@SuellioAlmeida]

Thanks man!!

[@dabz3432]

How can you not like what he is doing? Genuine, knowledgeable and just entertaining.

It's amazing how you can transmit information and feelings through your videos. I got really scared when the car snapped on that T2. I can't imagine how that felt for you. You did really good on that weekend. Congrats!

[@SuellioAlmeida]

I appreciate that man, thanks ❤️

[@z9kk164]

You're the reason I'm getting into simracing and motorsports in general! Keep up your amazing work and we're all rooting for you, Suellio!

[@rwschumm]

Congrats Suellio! SO amazing to see you progress, and also So instructive to hear and watch How you improve times. Awesome! I'm a new subscriber, 71 yrs old, and my racing instruction has only been 1st two classes at The Jim Hall Cart Racing School in California in '95. Hope to at least get 2 or more seconds at most tracks in ACC to at least often be competitive on LFM. Best To You! :)

[@SuellioAlmeida]

Welcome man! Thanks for the nice words!

[@steveclaeysgoesracing]

Amazing progression. I love to see people jumping into racing from simracing. It can be trackdays or races, aslong as you enjoy yourself and know that you achieved that childhood dream. You handled it very well. Get used to the car, the track, the handling, the downforce and the fear. You understand the vehicle dynamics and are coached through the weekend so you can progress. I love the joy you express, it makes you feel alive. Lots of people underestimate the strenght you need to race a car around the track. I am fan. Nice video, nice talk through, great onboards.....keep it coming and have fun.

[@charliemacdonald7705]

I was marshalling at turn 2a and turn 10 this weekend and didn’t even realize you were racing! It’s so awesome to see you in the radicals I love those cars. I hope to see you back at mosport in the new year!

[@saltyitalianguy3243]

honestly i applaud the bravery you need to even get into a car like a radical on this track, i've driven 600 laps of mosport on the sim and i just cant imagine having to commit to those corners in real life, especially into turn one and on the exit of turn 5 before the straight you just need to commit so much or you lose so much time. really impressive.

[@SuellioAlmeida]

Thanks man, it is such a crazy experience it's very easy to judge others when you don't get there and try it yourself hahahahha

[@saltyitalianguy3243]

Honestly every corner on this track is scary in a different way, the braking zone before the last corner is terrifying because you are just coming out of a flat out corner before entering a heavy braking zone, the braking zone before turn 5 is terrifying because the elevation change gives you tons of grip for a split second, dramatically shortening your braking distance, but when you reach the top your rears lose tons of grip and if you accelerate you will spin immediately. on top of that turn 2 is just horrifying because the rear can kick out at any moment if you take it slightly wrong, its just generally a really scary track, also one of my favourites.

Best Racing Videos on the Internet

[@Czeslaw_cn4tv]

Can I just say how amazing this channel is. It gave me a whole new level of understanding driving since you focus so much on oversteer rotation. Loved your initial feedback on the SR3, having had a 15 minute session in a fully loaded aero kitted Atom 4 a couple of weeks ago it cant be overstated how an open cockpit blasts your senses. Some need to be dulled as much as possible, while others like touch need to find their way into the brain which is just overwhelmed. To me not being able to hear the tyres was the biggest challenge. You're an excpetional driver, I actually bought a full Simagic setup earlier this week to explore driving with the help of your videos. Still need to build the rig, can't wait. Edit: just wanted to add that at our local track there's a corner where the SR3 has a 20kph window in which the corner cannot be taken. Cant imagine the guts it must take to go above the non aero limit.

[@MK19MODIII]

The short time I've been watching your stuff on here, doing your course and reading your book, etc. has been a really fun journey to see you doing things I won't ever be able to enjoy. I am so pleased to be able to see what you've been doing and and the progress you're making on your path while I improve my own sim racing skills. My hat is off to you and I look forward to more great content like this!!!

[@fsmdf]

This video got me so concentrated and excited about how you were dealing the physical challenges imposed by the car, the fear, confidence build up and pace hunting. Really great content!

[@Skafiskafnjak51]

*in 2 years* "My first F1 race in real life" 😂

[@thalestoledo89]

Você enchia o saco pra geral andar no Radical. Dizia "quer aprender a pilotar? Tem que andar no Radical". E agora você tá aí, andando nesse carrinho nervoso.

[@gawl8148]

Dude. You're amazing. Love your mentality, Approach and everything about what you're doing. All the best luck. Keep it up!

[@jester3265]

Superb. Lovely to actually see how you put the whole thing together. Brilliant.

[@OGAwsomSauce]

You did a great job on this video! I’ve watched it back to back and didn’t get bored. Keep doing what your doing.

[@BuzzRaces_]

This is so fucking awesome man, im so proud of how far youve come! KEEP PUSHING!!!

[@JBRacing613]

Happy to watch you achieve your dreams! Keep this momentum going you are on it.

[@001sander2]

Thanks for explaining all the details very well 🙂

[@B5Lyfer]

Well done Suellio! Your improvement over just a couple days is incredible!

[@solcharms]

Found your channel recently. The content is insane. By the way - MOSPORT - no other place on Earth like it. Anyone who has done a lap there never forgets it.

[@kennielassen2839]

Owner Richard seems like such a nice guy!

[@akaWook]

Congrads man this is awesome seeing you race in IRL - well deserved, keep it up!

[@marcusmiller8267]

I'm so proud of you Suellio! You're a great guy. My wife and I are fans.

[@ruslanlutfullin9688]

Man so happy about you and what you achieved! Only up, never give up! Will cross my fingers for you 💪

[@tirespark]

i like how honest your team is they seem like good peoples

[@noduj]

These videos are so good, following your path is exciting, keep racing!

[@OGSiX33]

I love your honesty about your journey and growth, very impressed

[@xxxjmgxxx]

Oh MANNN!! This was one of the more exciting vids you've made so far!! Absolutely loving it how you analyze your driving during the live sessions, and providing context and feeling! I drive 2stroke karts and compete nationally, and there is nothing that beats the real thing. Was thinking about getting into one of those Radicals somewhere in the near future, and you've provided the perfect feedback of what to expect! AMAZING! Also - just got your book and would be getting your online course soon enough! Love your work and progression man! KUDOS! 🏎💪

[@ArielGoldenRet]

Ok... looking forward V 2.0... and very happy that you´re having so much fun with the Radical!!!!

[@Mahid]

THIS VIDEO WAS AMAZING

[@coryculbert2847]

That was a great save!

[@Barrick_Creative_Media]

Great stuff. Really enjoyed this. So good to see how your lap times came tumbling down as your confidence soared 🏎️😊🏁

[@StevenYanni]

You are the real deal man. Thanks for sharing this, it’s always been a dream for me but I guess I’m too late so I’ll just stick to my Sim, your course is freaking amazing and I can’t wait for the 2.0. Keep it up and I wish you all the best

[@hod64]

I usually watch videos in the background, while doing other things, but I could not take off my eyes now. I could almost feel what you felt, you told your experience so good. Very nice progress and very nice video. Special thanks for showing us how to learn the track with induced understeer. Keep up the good work! Looking forward to more videos like this.

[@jockeyjack3367]

Your outlook on everything even some of the not so perfect things is an amazing characteristic. I was a jockey for 10 years and I had the same outlook and that will take you far in life. An improvement is an improvement no matter how small ❤❤

[@Egorbou]

Great job on your race in the Radicals, I was the guy in P3 racing out there with you. Kept me on my toes that's for sure!

[@justpostedagain]

Forget the driving (which is always impressive), the production quality of this video is EXTRAORDINARY! The cockpit camera quality, the little commentary pieces, the commentary while driving, the explanatory diagrams. What a video. Fine. You've convinced me. I've bought your course. Nice work :)

[@SuellioAlmeida]

Welcome aboard!

[@PeterBee911]

That was an amazing video and an amazing adventure to follow you in! I could feel the adrenaline rush behind my screen. 😅 It's a shame that race 2 ended like it did, but at the end of the day, it wasn't your fault so it's the most important. Congrats for being where you are right now Suellio! Hope you to see you race the SR3 next year!

[@ayrtonsiffert911]

Great video Suellio, thanks for posting! You should be really proud of what you were able to accomplish at this event. My most important takeaway from this is how you're focused on always learning more while in the car. That's the only way to focus on mid/long-term improvements and not getting too caught up in the moment! That oversteer moment you had at T2 was super scary. I can relate to that from my real-world racing I started last year and this year on the Nordschleife. I get a bit intimidated and then try to convince myself that it's actually a testament to my feeling for the car and that it should reinforce my confidence, rather than lower it. Would be interesting to hear how you digested it. Looking forward to v2 of The Racing Checklist!

[@joshuajohnson9370]

Watching your video is making me pretty emotional because someone is so young that you can follow their passion. When I was growing up. I was big into racing, but I had a single mother who couldn't afford a lot of things, and once I started working. There was no buying video games and continuing. It was helping pay bills.

[@JimJuno]

You did great man, that's awesome!

[@Pick_Lock]

Great save during practice! Awesome to see your confidence rise, with a bit of humbleness too. Bummer about race 2, can't wait to see your next outing.

[@travmustdie]

18:32 you gained a familiarity with the car and also a word of advice from another driver, it’s OKAY!!!! it’s supposed to be scary and make you second guess and that where the confidence you were talking about comes in buddy, you’re very capable and finding your limits on a car you’re bound to eventually push past it trying to figure it out, so don’t shame yourself it really is a matter of trial and error and a test of your confidence and ability to learn fast as hell on the spot. You did great my guy

[@Karlos_Miguel_]

Tava bem ansioso para esse vídeo sair! Seus conteúdos são MUITO bons e a produção super caprichada! Desejo todo o sucesso para você e que venha mais para a gente poder deleitar

[@ApexPilot28]

That looks scary even to im not even in it😂 proud of you

[@-Thunder]

I've raced this track in iRacing a bunch so this was really fun to watch knowing every corner. It's also apparent that running a real car around it is very different. Great work improving by 15 seconds!

[@alanowens99]

Richard and the whole Ryspec team are awesome. Great progress and nice save in 2! Subscribed for more!

[@ChipVenters]

Awesome video. A great primer for anyone thinking of racing.

[@antonlammers1454]

Awesome video Suellio!!! Great achievement you make us sim racers proud.

[@manchomurgan]

Wow! You are living a dream, I am really happy for you!!!

[@manchomurgan]

BTW send my salutations to Dino!

[@angel_luis]

Wow I almost have a heart attack at min 19. So basically to find the limit is do the opposite as you teach in simracing. Instead of induce oversteer and adjust it with understeer (lifting), lift before and then go for some understeer with caution. Nice technique! I was wondering how to find the limit in real life without crash. I’m sure you will get that seat for the next year season, and I hope to see all your journey here in KZbin! Much love Suellio.

[@thehawk05]

Nice job! My friend drove for Ryspec this year. After the season end he invited some his supporters up to Mosport and took us out for laps in his Radical SR3. I’ve driven around Mosport numerous times myself and have gone for laps as a passenger in some fast cars. But none of those experiences were like what I experienced in the Radical though. Absolutely incredible experience!

[@mattikake9859]

Great vid. People never appreciate the fear and fitness involved. You brought that across well.

[@malpi_6167]

amazing work dude, it's so cool to see you progress after each lap, you did a great job

[@SuellioAlmeida]

Thanks a ton!

[@tylerarkills74]

What an absolute save. I would have shit myself. Way to not overcorrect and react the right way. This is the first time I've come across your channel but you were a pleasure to watch.

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

Some people are just lucky. You my friend with that grass moment prove your clearly one such person.

[@phosion]

This is inspiring. Really have me coming back to the channel every day.. after my own racing of course, lol.

[@sashaman1234]

This content is gold. You made a 30 min video feel like 4 minutes

[@NimCross]

Awesome to follow you. Congratulations on everything!

[@gabethomas8123]

Just subbed! Incredible driving and narration!

[@LH44EVER]

my head would just completely tear off, i hope you make it far man!!

[@doug_vickers]

Great job Suellio! The Radical looks scarry IRL. Looking forward to seeing you progress. 👍

[@MrAbram94]

just epic video my man! enjoyed every second of it!

[@yeagemk]

Turns 1 and 2 flat out must have been incredlbe. One of my favorite 2 turn sequences in all of racing

[@1231c]

Great Job! Those cars look absolutely terrifying.

[@bales1569]

I don’t think anyone else is making content like this or to this standard. Suellio, you are the best 😊

[@alexandermayorga663]

Wow a whole new perspective in racing. I myself want to get into formula 4 cars but not sure where to start I have a passion for wanting to start my racing career and watching you race sparked that inner racing passion. Good luck man you can tell you have serious potential in racing. I’ll be cheering you on

[@EJRacing_]

This is so cool! Great job!

[@stevevanspronsen6763]

This is awesome. Congrats getting deep into it. Mosport is so cool. Drove some Audi's there. Love the elevation changes.

[@forestnfren8146]

honestly that save alone should get you the spot. Jeeze dude

[@hisham3120]

love this video! well done

[@greghoobler6741]

Most importantly... nice thumbs up & recognition for the volunteer course marshalls...

[@007balzak]

Brilliant analysis

[@Financialguide2023]

This was by far the coolest video ive ever seen come from a racing channel or even just any form of gaming channel ever. Insane to think that this happened thanks to iRacing

[@viktoytube]

Sometimes I get scared shitless on my Rotax DD2 gokart, I can't imagine the fear in this car! By the way this is an amazing video and the owner is such a cool guy.

[@mathiaspaul9596]

awesome man! good job! Need to try that cars in AC

[@wickedwarlock1]

One of the best and most difficult tracks in North America to run at. When someone like Juan Pablo Montoya says that CTMP scares him, you've accomplished something. Well done!

[@onionbagarch8243]

Great job man - what shocked me about the Radical IRL is how powerful the lateral force is on a bumpy corner - enough to snap seat mountings!

[@st1ll_human]

Epic drive man 💯

[@SPiTFiRE_JiMMY]

Yeah you can totally tell that you have the mentality for real racing. I can’t wait to get into sim racing this year. I’m saving up for a good one so that I can go hard into it. I’ve always had a passion for racing and now that sims are so advanced I’m gunna try it out.

[@vineh2030]

Boa Suellio, sempre trazendo um conteúdo bem feito e explicando tudo direitinho pra gente, obrigado 💪💪

[@ExSheriffFattyBoySkinnyArms]

This vid is so good I’m gonna watch it an again!

[@handuo6301]

That explanation of how to test the limits of the car was super fascinating! Feel like I as a couch potato learned a lot about racing today haha

[@artmadaofficialyoutube]

Thank you for sharing this. I've been looking into this series, knowing it's very demanding and now we get an idea of what that really looks like. This car track combo is one of my all time favourites, next to the 944 Turbo Cup and a C6. Next time I go to Mosport, I will sit at Moss. Since I've already sat at 1,2,3,and 4. 4 is nice, you can see a decent amount including T5 and get a good sense of speed, but something seems hilarious about the sensation of cars driving directly at you, only to turn at the last second, blast off up the hill and disappear. It also seems like the most peaceful corner, when cars are at T10 -T2. Apparently, not only did this video confirm things about this series and car, it also confirmed my next spectating position. 😂😂😂😂

[@johanfredin]

Superb video!

[@elvebakken33]

Damn man, this is so incredibly impressive. Literally my dream. I'm too old now though, keep at it!

[@junoQC]

18:08 "were getting there chat" 😂 didnt realize this was a stream

[@AlbertoNaskaDELETED]

Man! So proud of you! You just started to live the dream. You remind me of myself 6 years ago. Now we should definitely do a race together 😎😎😎

[@SuellioAlmeida]

What an honor to have you here man! Would be a dream to race against (or with) you in the future, let's make that happen 😎

[@quinnseitz1377]

awesome stuff, thanks for recording this and sharing with us. I want to race real cars one day... videos like this make it seem like more of a reality

[@nomac5]

very cool nice to see you getting to try all these different cars irl now.

[@DMSparky]

Well I must say that’s was massively impressive. Whether you make the team or not your progress was undeniable.

[@ryspec2935]

Great Job!

[@illusion7951]

Amazing keep it up, I would love to see more irl content

[@ToxicShorts-ll6sn]

It is so cool that he is a sim racer because he’s so good it takes a lot of skill and dedication to do what he’s doing

[@audio_phil]

Very nice to watch
