Ajith Kumar’s Racing Journey

He made his return to the sport after 15 years, competing in the FIA 24H Series in the Porsche 992 GT3 Cup Category with his own racing team, Ajith Kumar Racing. The Valencia event was part of his ongoing journey in motorsports.
A Month After His Dubai Crash
This accident comes just a month after Ajith’s crash in Dubai. In a recent interview with Gulf News, the actor spoke about the risks involved in both his careers and his perspective on success.
“Success is like a wild horse. If you can’t tame it, it will throw you off,” he said, reflecting on his approach to life and racing.
Ajith also shared his passion for sports, stating, “I love sports—anything that involves good competition or travel. These experiences recharge me and keep me motivated.”
He emphasized the importance of encouraging his children to engage in sports, believing that valuable life lessons come from both victories and defeats.
“I tell my children that while formal education is important, the most important lessons often come from traveling and engaging in sports,” he added.

Ajith Kumar’s Film Career
While Ajith has been focusing on racing, his latest film, Vidaamuyarchi, directed by Magizh Thirumeni, had a below-average performance at the box office despite high expectations.
The actor’s next project, Good Bad Ugly, directed by Adhik Ravichandran, is already generating buzz.
Ajith Kumar’s recent accident in Valencia has once again highlighted the dangers of professional racing.
While his passion for the sport remains unwavering, fans continue to express their concerns about his safety. With his return to acting on the horizon, it remains to be seen how Ajith balances both his film career and his pursuit of motorsports.
