Hello Jeyson,

My son Henryk and I enjoyed the experience. I was impressed with the business from mechanics to coaching. I wish my son would have not been so timid. He made a break though in the last session; only wish we had another day or two. We will definitely keep an eye on the team and be interested in future training with the team. We are looking forward to Italo’s report. I have paid invoice #031721370 via Venmo, please confirm receipt. Thank you and all the best.

I’ve had the pleasure of learning from Italo since I was a rookie. Through coaching, data review, and lead/follow sessions, my on track skills have improved significantly. Italo also does a great job helping with soft skills — kart set-up or driver promotion. Whether you’re an experienced driver or newbie, Italo’s personality and knowledge make Urace a great choice.

I’ve been around the racing industry for awhile now and very impressed with my URace Suit! Not only is the quality of material top notch but so is Italo and his team’s customer service. To anyone looking for a custom suit, go talk to URace!

Satisfied Client

I have been impressed by the thoroughness Italo uses. He gives instruction and then sends the driver on track with a GoPro. He reviews the video turn by turn with the driver giving feedback. I’m seeing results. My son is improving while mastering the techniques to be safe and fast.
