About U-RACE
We BuildChampions
From Brazilian tracks to Orlando championships — this is the U-RACE story.
Italo Silveira
Founder & Head Coach · U-RACE
Italo Silveira started his karting journey at age 7 in Brazil. With natural talent and dedication, he quickly evolved to compete in the Brazilian Stock Car Series, one of South America's most competitive motorsport categories.
At 14, Italo was already coaching other drivers — realising that his greatest skill wasn't just driving, but effectively passing on motorsport knowledge to pilots of all levels and ages.
In 2016, Italo moved to Orlando, Florida and founded U-RACE with a clear mission: democratise access to high-performance motorsport, developing drivers from zero to the podium in international competitions.
