This comes just weeks after the star met with an accident during a practice session in Portugal while training at the Estoril Circuit. Earlier this year, while preparing for the Dubai 24H race, Ajith’s car crashed into a safety barrier, spinning multiple times before coming to a halt. Despite the harrowing incident, he walked away unharmed and went on to secure a podium finish with his team, Ajith Kumar Racing by Bas Koeten.
Ajith, a well-known racing aficionado, announced his return to racing in September 2024, with the launch of his own racing team, called Ajith Kumar Racing. The team had announced the star’s desire to participate in the upcoming European GT4 championship. Popular Belgian racer Fabian Duffieux was announced as the team’s official racing driver.
A passionate racer, Ajith previously competed in the Asian Formula BMW Championship and the British Formula 3 Championship, including podium finishes at the Donington Park and Knockill circuits. He had also raced in the FIA Formula 2 Championship. Having started off with motorcycle racing, Ajith also took part in the National Motorcycle Racing Championship.
Notably, Ajith also founded the Chennai-based startup Venus Motorcycles, which focuses on motorcycle touring and training bike enthusiasts.
On the film front, Ajith was last seen in Magizh Thirumeni’s Vidaamuyarchi. He will be seen next in Adhik Ravichandran’s Good Bad Ugly, set to release on April 10.
