🇧🇷 Suellio Almeida

Suellio Almeida is an entry-level professional competing in shared-car endurance racing and national solo sprint racing. He races for Bryan Herta Autosport with Curb Agajanian in the IMSA Pilot Challenge, where he shares a TCR touring car in a multiclass championship that mixes amateurs and graded professionals. He also ran the Radical Cup NA in 2024 for Graham Rahal Performance, driving a Radical sports prototype in solo competition. His FIA grading is Silver, placing him below the full-professional grades and typically marking a driver developing toward that level.[1]

Almeida's record across his first two seasons runs to 30 starts with one win and nine podiums. The win came in 2024 Radical Cup NA, a season in which he finished second in the championship standings from 15 rounds. He took nine podiums that year across Radical Cup NA and five starts in Prototype Cup Germany for Rinaldi Racing, an international endurance championship mixing amateur and professional entrants. He continues this year in the IMSA Pilot Challenge with ten starts so far, racing in a multiclass field where he shares driving duties with another competitor.[2]

In Radical Cup NA, Almeida proved closely matched with Chris McMurry, the 2024 class champion, and regularly finished ahead of Kenny Naill, a developing driver with 26 starts in the series. His strongest result on record came against established professionals: he finished ahead of PJ Hyett, who won the 2025 IMSA WeatherTech LMP2 championship and the European Le Mans Series LMP2 Pro/Am title that same year, and twice beat Danny Soufi, the 2025 Prototype Cup Germany champion with forty starts in that series alone.
