We’re excited to officially announce our newest Plasmaide Pro, INDYCAR driver, Caio Collet. 

In a sport where split-second decisions and physical endurance are everything, Caio knows the importance of physical and mental stamina and he's benefiting from adding Plasmaide to his regime.

"Being an INDYCAR driver means constantly pushing your body and mind to the limit. Plasmaide has become a valuable part of my daily routine, supporting my performance on the track and my recovery off it." — Caio Collet

How did you first get into motor racing?

I got into racing trough my dad, he used to be a Rally driver and when I was 4years old he gave me my first motorbike, so I actually started racing bikes first and then at the age of 8 I swapped the bikes for go karts. 

What does your perfect rest day look like when you’re not training or competing?

A perfect rest day for me when not training or competing would be lying down on a sofa at home watching something on tv or playing some video games.

Is there a routine, superstition, or habit you never skip before a race?

Before a race I always have a warm up routine with some stretching and mobility before jumping in the car. Also before a race I always have a Plasmaide sachet to make sure I’ll be ready for the session. 

Who has had the biggest influence on your journey as an athlete, and why?

I would say my dad had the biggest influence. Not only he was the one that introduced me to racing he also inspired me to do Triathlons. Watching him pushing the limits of his body everyday at his age is something that really influences me on pushing myself on and off track. 

What’s something people might be surprised to learn about you outside of sport?

Something that would surprise people is that I’m a introverted guy and at the same time that I love being outside for my training and racing I really enjoy my time at home doing “nothing”. 

How do you mentally reset after a tough loss or setback?

After a setback or a tough loss I reset by sicking to my routine and training. For me it’s the best way to gain my confidence back. Jumping back into my routine and making sure that I’m doing my best on the things that I can control to prep for the next race.  

What’s the hardest part of being an INDYCAR driver? 

I would say that the hardest part is handling several intense challenges at the same time while driving the car as fast as you can. Races are very physically demanding, you are always under pressure to perform, there’s the very quick ability to make decisions at high speed and the level of competition is extremely high. 

What are your goals for 2026?

My goals for 2026 are to learn and improve every race weekend and at the end of the year achieve the “Rookie of the Year” award.
