The Japanese Karting Championship has come to a close at Suzuka Circuit Southern Course after major schedule changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Although the series title of FS-125 and OK Category had already been determined before Suzuka round, all drivers gave it their all to win the final race.
Thank you for cheering the drivers supported by EXGEL Motorsport.

Round 6 Qualifying Practice Overall P2
Pre Final Groupe P5 / Overall P9
Final Point 14 (P6 finish + Bumper Penalty)
I wanted to end the season with a victory, even though the title had gone to a rival.
I was able to set the best time in the free practice on Sunday, but I struggle with my pace in the pre final and couldn’t move up in the final.
It was a shame to end the season with a frustrating result, but I will do my best next year to be a champion in the higher category.
Thank you all for your support.

Round 9 Pre Final P5 Final P7
Round 10 Pre Final P2 Final P27
I was hoping for a season best result in the final round at my home track Suzuka.
The Qualifying Practice went well with the best time among DUNLOP Tire users, and I competed in the top group.
It was a pity that I couldn’t finished the final of round 10, despite starting from the second position.
I believe that this experience will make me stronger in the next season.
Thank you DUNLOP, EXGEL, my sponsors, team, mechanics, supporters and my family for supporting me this year.

Round 10 Pre Final P15 Final P14
First, I would like to thank DUNLOP members, sponsors, team staff and everyone who has supported me this year.
Unfortunately I didn’t have pace throughout the week just as the previous round in Motegi, and the race was very difficult.
It’s a shame that the season ended with a result like this, but I learned a lot and will stay positive for the next year.
