About Final Lap GP
Final Lap GP was built from the ground up, born out of car culture, community, and a standard that refuses to settle.
We are a motorsport inspired streetwear and lifestyle brand. Every drop is intentional. Every piece is designed to carry the same mentality as the culture that inspired it. Precise, clean, and built to last.
From the track to the street, Final Lap GP exists at the intersection of performance and identity. We do not just make clothing. We build a uniform for people who move with purpose.
Our community drives everything. The events, the drops, the direction. This brand belongs to the people who show up.
One down. More to come.
Kevin Arcardo
Founder, Final Lap GP | Sales & Brand Communications Manager, AutoCore Customs | Basketball Coach | Community Builder
Kevin Arcardo is an entrepreneur, coach, and community leader based in Ottawa, Canada. Known for connecting automotive culture, sports, and community engagement, he has spent years building platforms that bring people together through shared passions.
As the founder of Final Lap GP, Kevin created more than a clothing brand. What started as a motorsport-inspired apparel project evolved into a growing community centered around automotive culture, creativity, and meaningful connections. Through events, collaborations, charity initiatives, and grassroots community building, Final Lap GP has become a platform that encourages people to pursue their passions while creating opportunities for others to do the same.
Outside of Final Lap GP, Kevin serves as Sales & Brand Communications Manager at AutoCore Customs, one of Ottawa's leading automotive protection and customization facilities. In this role, he specializes in customer experience, brand development, sales strategy, and relationship building, helping clients transform their vehicles while maintaining a strong focus on quality, trust, and long-term value.
Kevin is also a longtime basketball coach with nearly a decade of experience mentoring high school athletes at St. Pius X High School. Throughout his coaching career, he has helped develop championship-winning teams while emphasizing leadership, accountability, discipline, and personal growth beyond the game. His coaching philosophy focuses on creating environments where athletes can succeed both on and off the court. A championship season highlighted his commitment to player development and community impact.
What separates Kevin from many entrepreneurs is his ability to bridge multiple worlds. Whether organizing community car meets, launching apparel collections, coaching student-athletes, managing automotive brands, or supporting local businesses, his focus remains the same: creating genuine experiences that leave people better than he found them.
His work has helped raise funds for local causes, support youth sports programs, promote small businesses, and build a community that extends far beyond cars, fashion, or basketball.
Through Final Lap GP, AutoCore Customs, basketball, and community initiatives, Kevin continues to pursue that mission one project, one event, and one connection at a time.
One Down. More To Come.
