Keep going

[@imeatingnemo4412]

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!

[@BrianLagerstrom]

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

[@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

[@MatthewSamuelMcCormick]

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.

[@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.

[@snail3]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@nuchbutter]

That was AWESOME! First race? I remember my first motocross race. P3 in the first moto, and planted corn all through the second moto. You did great, Suellio. Keep going!

[@jq8741]

Super cool! Living out the dream the rest of us cannot! Keep killing it out there

[@EduKep-Games]

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

[@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.

[@BuzzRaces_]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@paulmdevenney]

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

[@ApacheHelicopter256]

I got to love his magic hand gesture at 7:45

[@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!

[@SankarshanGhosh]

Can't subscribe again to show that I'm enjoying the video as I already am subscribed, but left a like - please keep them coming!

[@allanjohnsen1034]

Great Suellio ! This is very interesting ... If I ever get the chance somehow, I want to drive in real life too 👌🙂 Best of luck pursuing your dream

[@WanuboiOfficiel]

Damn this is beautiful, to me you have no talent, i don't believe in talent, no, but see a passion and freaking hard work coming together so well as with you, that's impressive and pretty inspiring. Yeah there is people more intelligent than others, more fast learning than others that we can simplify by IQ level, but at the end of the day, it's who is the most passionate by his objective and how much work he put into it. I'm 28 yrs old, loosed 10 years of my life partying, drugs, girls until my 24 where i completly stopped this bullshit. You are young, all the life in front of you, doing the best decisions you can, so GG to you. I recognize that hard dedication you have. And i'm sure you are happy inside you which is the most important. You worked hard to practice what you love. Good luck for the future !

[@Hobbs_Racing]

Finally got a chance to watch your video. It was so good. Exciting to watch. You got the speed. Just need the engine to work well. Best of luck with your racing season!

[@Pepecol3ite]

Suelio, você é foda, ainda tem muito caminho no automobilismo e muito potencial pra ser gigante. E uma sugestão, poderia colocar legenda em português por favor? eu não tenho problemas com inglês, mas com certeza deve ter pessoas com dificuldade e poderia aumentar seu público. Tmj mano, espero que seu futuro seja brilhante

[@iamkenha]

this reminds me of Jann Mardenborough's story and his Gran Turismo movie inspo!

[@dannytranlx]

Format was great, love the content! Great racing, hope you can fix the car!

[@vbarreto87]

Cara, To melhorando muito minha pilotagem com seus videos, dicas e livro e também to curtindo muito do conteúdo que vc ta postando aqui. Obrigado e Parabéns pelo trabalho . Keep it up!!

[@dewnl8389]

man that sucks that your car was underpowered on the straights, you were clearly much faster in the corners to be keeping up with the others, hopefully that gets sorted out

[@charliewastaken]

6:17 Is this just a regular "OMG DADDY BOUGHT ME THE FASTEST RADICAL!"?

[@ichizos9615]

Race start, cold tires, easy mistake to make.

[@waltersbg]

I was wondering the same thing, because that driver came up off the normal racing line, like he didn't know that a) he would still need to slow down, b) he would have to slow down even more because he was not going outside in, and c) it was the race start so his tires were cold. Good thing the guy didn't take Suellio or anybody else out.

[@myweirdtaste8090]

Great format! Sick driving. Love the attitude. Please overlay telemetry next time! Btw.: I guess your quali lap time was not 1.11.7 but 2.11.7.

[@florian_montuzet]

Beeing on that box will comes eventually !

[@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

[@tmksolfilm]

Very nice video and nice driving. I love this so keep us updated with more of this 👍

[@katsuraji]

The format is great, only you can narrate more during the race, not only the highlights, all what you were thinking in that moment etc etc. O e example of a youtuber that do that is Naska, nice video

[@AceRacingRocks]

Awesome Racing Rockin Roll ❤

[@kdub4728]

Man if ur car was running right, it would have been an epic out come. 3rd instead of 1st go get the nexted 1 you got this👍

[@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.

[@shaunster2]

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

[@MatthewSamuelMcCormick]

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

[@partiallyfrozen3425]

I would have loved to see a bit more between race 2 and 3 about why the car failed, but the format was really good. I'm fairly new to you and your content, but you are really inspiring, and I look forward to seeing your racing season unfold. I do have one question, in the beginning, you said something about if this racing season doesn't go well, you could be done for real racing. What's up with that? Not sure I quite understand the risk of having a poor year in this series. Sure, I understand formula one, but it's your own car? Is the team you're racing for looking to put someone else in if you don't perform?

[@DonCramon]

You have definitely got the skills. Now you just need a better car. It's only a matter og time now. You have got this.💪🏎️

[@spagroen]

Awesome editing! Great racing!

[@SimonsShed]

You can really pedal 🏎💨 Keep 'em coming!

[@tomtarlton6292]

This might not be your issue.. but I noticed your head seems to be a bit higher than some of the others. Not only will your head make more drag but the wake can affect your rear wing efficiency (drag) as well. You might also try putting the rear spoiler on your helmet and i hate to say it, consider moving the cameral from your forehead. These could easily be a few kph on a low powered car so could be worth experimenting with. To my eye it seemed like you had a high speed drag issue, vs power to weight

[@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!

[@bluepieouo]

15:14 oh my god that P3 jumpscare lol

[@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!!!

[@GamerMuscleVideos]

Awesome video and great drive , must be gutting having car not run properly when you clearly have the pace and skill to be way ahead.

[@Yabi19]

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

[@romaricnonn7646]

it's awesome i love this video !

[@MonopostoMerchant]

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

[@EdBert]

I wish more sims (okay games) had Sebring, way underrated IMO.

[@Jardier]

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

[@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!

[@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 😊

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@jamesbrown23]

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

[@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

[@jerometerbrack9999]

Your journey has been amazing man! Props to you

[@petripat5979]

Great racing

[@thiagopratezi2130]

On a more technical course with more hairpins and sharper turns, you would have definetly won. Problem is, most american tracks have a shit-ton of straights.

[@marksutherlandjr.2121]

I know im not the only one watching this in my living room standing! ❤😂 LETS GO!! Edit: Checklist is on my shortlist of things I want to make time and money for this year.

[@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.

[@DazSharplesSim-Racing]

Loved this. You look a nautral, just wait till the engine is fixed.

[@SuellioAlmeida]

Fingers crossed! 😭

[@huhkgerry]

Hes insane 😂 kicking ass from a guy who plays game

[@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!

[@followtheflip2172]

My hopes to ever be on an real life racing car on race are becoming smaller and smaller 😭😭😭

[@wizardflame6808]

Chat, does blud really think that he is bad when he has been picked up by multiple teams because he is so good?

[@stefellbt]

The black & gold reminds me of the old Lotus liveries. I like it a lot.

[@Tippycanoee]

Hope you’re able to figure out the engine. You’d be fighting for P1 every race

[@felipegil360]

Excellent, IF I COULD YOU SHOULD ALSO BE ABLE.

[@MJY5drives]

imagine his machinery at 100%, the competition is cooked.

[@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.

[@Suriprofz]

Great drive, to bad no speedometer😢

[@leofariasrj-dev]

epic driving and epic editing skill = awesome video! I'm really hyped for your next race. Also, please share with us the reason the engine was failing if you ever discover the reason.

[@SuellioAlmeida]

fuel pump!

[@mcthomas7779]

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

[@brainnotfound239]

This guy is good, he should try simracing.

[@samuel.jneves230]

He das

[@GouldGroupKW]

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

[@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.

[@ezekielperez4042]

Did you end up finding out what was wrong with the engine??

[@RRodrigues18]

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

[@BWB_Cubing]

5:49 why does it look like theres tape on the wheels handles

[@bintangsuryaa]

Cant wait for this suellio almeida guy on f3

[@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!

[@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.

[@Maikel-y4n]

Put me in that car am a simracer than i will show u laptimes

[@Holdt15]

Brilliant. Both video and racing. Congrats Suellio!

[@IAmUltraMAGA]

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

[@ottobalfour2761]

This is sick - pat on the back to the whole team!

[@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.

[@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!!!

[@mo-r-racing]

16:30 overtakes 3 cars after passing a yellow flag with a car spun in the middle.................not something i'd recommend doing.

[@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!

[@lopata_]

very cool video. i'd love to see more like this.
