#274 - Suellio Almeida - From Sim Racing To Real Racing; Coaching; Sponsorships; Going Viral

In this episode, I sit down with Suellio Almeida, a professional sim racing coach, and more recently, a real-life race driver, coach, and YouTuber. He started in 2019 and has completed over 1,100 coaching sessions so far.

We explore Suellio’s incredible journey from a soon-to-be pianist to a real-life racing sensation. He opens up about his transition from sim racing to the real track and shares how long it actually takes to make that leap. We also discuss why following your passion may not always be the best idea, the ideal sim racing setup for beginners, and whether "Gran Turismo" is a good starting point.

Throughout the episode, Suellio offers insights into his race-day preparations, pre-race rituals, and how he managed to buy his first race car. We also cover the expenses of real-life racing, how to find sponsors, Suellio’s marketing strategies as a racer, and much, much more.

Enjoy! 😉
