SEBASTIAN VASAN

My obsession with cars began before I could even talk. At just four years old, I attended my first race—the 2007 Daytona 500—with my father, and from that moment, I was determined to race cars. While I dreamed of go-karting, my parents, concerned about safety, steered me toward a different path. I immersed myself in the competitive world of 1/8th-scale remote control car racing, which I pursued professionally.

​

By the age of ten, I took my first steps into personal development, attending Tony Robbins’ Unleash the Power Within. Walking on hot coals at twelve and working with a Tony Robbins master mindset coach shaped my approach to competition and resilience. These lessons, combined with my racing passion, helped me achieve multiple national event wins and championships in remote control car racing, all while earning sponsorships from six international brands.

​

The moment I turned sixteen, I transitioned to the driver’s seat, attending my first track day and honing my skills behind the wheel. My dedication quickly paid off as I began competing in time trials, setting multiple track records across the country.

Since 2022, I’ve been coaching and racing with 89x Motorsports in the World Racing League, achieving four podiums in 2024 in an Aston Martin Vantage GT4 while pursuing an undergraduate economics degree at the University of Miami ('25). Coaching other racers has not only been deeply rewarding but has also refined my own skills as a driver, pushing me to continually improve.
