A race enthusiast
Ajith, an avid racing enthusiast, has been associated with the sport for a long time, and has also competed in racing events.
In fact, he is one of the very few Indians to have participated in the international arena and at FIA Championships.
In 2004, he participated in the 2004 Formula Asia BMW F3 Championships and also in the 2010 Formula 2 Championship, before taking a long hiatus.
He announced the launch of his own racing team, the 'Ajith Kumar Racing' back in September 2024.
One of the key objectives behind his racing team is to promote and nurture talented young drivers and provide them with a fully supported racing program.
Ajith will be competing in the Porsche 992 class at the 24H Dubai event, a race known for stiff competition.
