Simon Cooper races at club level in American Endurance Racing, a multiclass endurance championship where production-based cars from multiple classes compete together across North American circuits. Across eight seasons from 2018 to 2026, Cooper has made 30 starts in this series, taking three wins and eight podiums. He currently sits 31st in the 2026 championship standings with one round run so far.[1]
Cooper's record places him among regular amateur and semi-professional entrants in a field that includes graded professionals. He has finished ahead of professionals with significant international experience, including a Bronze-graded driver with 92 IMSA WeatherTech starts and another who won the 2025 International GT CAY3.8 championship, though these remain isolated results against much more experienced opposition. Against his most frequent rivals, semi-professional regulars including the 2024 and 2025 American Endurance Racing Class 2 champion Thomas Lee and the long-serving Iain Barber, Cooper typically finishes behind them across the season.[2]
