Sean Gelael Facts

  1. Like most professional racers, Sean had started his racing career with karts and had first come into the spotlight after winning the 2011 Asian Karting Open Championship – Formula 125 Senior Open.
  2. His single-seater racing career kicked off in the following year when he competed in the Formula Pilota China series and finished the season in the 4th place in the overall standings and 2nd in the ‘Best Asian Trophy’ standings.
  3. He is a confessed foodie and a fried chicken enthusiast. This can be attributed in no small part to Dick Gelael, his paternal grandfather, who had owned PT Fast Food Indonesia, the company that worked as the Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) franchise for Indonesia. The business was later inherited by Sean’s father Ricardo Gelael.
  4. He is also known for his peculiar helmet design which includes a sneaker, a KFC bucket on the top, and the word ‘Gelaelized’ represented as a wacky sticker.
