Bruno Gallo
Age: 37
Bio
Born in 1985 in São Paulo, Brazil, Bruno grew up watching F-1's golden era ("the real deal, before DRS, hybrid and Drive to Survive" - he says), and he believed to be the next Senna – same country and hometown as his hero, supporting the same football club (Corinthians!), and passionate about racing - it couldn't be just a coincidence! Unfortunately though, years later financial limitations kept that dream from becoming a reality. He swears it was ONLY due to financial limitations!
Fast-forwarding, in late 2011 Bruno moved to Sydney, Australia, on a break to travel and study English, but he loved the country so much he couldn't leave. Now some 12 years later he's slowly becoming and Aussie, and ended up here at Laundry House after trading paints with some likeminded drivers on virtual races that share similar passions.
