🇺🇸✈️🇯🇵 Cooper O’Clair will make his Japan debut this week!

We’re proud to announce Cooper as the 2025 EXGEL Driver Exchange nominee, selected after an impressive performance at the RMC USA West event in Arizona.

This weekend, he’ll represent the U.S. in the Senior MAX category at Round 5 of the EXGEL Max Champ, held at the iconic Suzuka Circuit, one of the most respected karting events in Japan.

The EXGEL Motorsport Max Champ stands as Japan’s premier Rotax series, where top-level drivers come to prove themselves and develop on an international stage. It’s the perfect environment for Cooper to take the next step in his journey.

“We were all impressed with Cooper’s exceptional racecraft and consistent performance,” said scout Alessandro Bressan.
“He was a clear choice for this year’s exchange program, and we’re excited to welcome him to Japan.”

The EXGEL Driver Exchange is more than a race entry, it’s about international opportunity, cultural exchange, and supporting the next generation of talent.

Follow along with EXGEL Motorsport for updates throughout the weekend!

A bucket list race.
A once-in-a-lifetime moment.
And a seat on the grid at the legendary Fuji 24 Hours.

We’re proud to bring Canadian-born Jim Walsh to Japan for one of the most iconic endurance events in the world. From early conversations to trackside ex*****on, we’ve handled every step, from travel arrangements and team coordination to logistics and full race support.

Earlier this month, Jim completed his first test at Fuji, beginning the process of adapting to the circuit and the demands of Japanese endurance racing. Now he is set for the biggest race on Japanese soil, the Fuji 24 Hours, and our team will be with him every step of the way to make sure he has the tools, guidance, and environment to perform.

These are the moments we live for. Seeing a driver take on a dream with the right support around him. Where new partnerships form and unforgettable memories are made.
