Ajith Kumar Makes a Triumphant Return at Dubai 24H Car Race
Actor and motor racing enthusiast Ajith Kumar made a remarkable comeback at the Dubai 24H racing event, securing third place in the 991 category. This victory marked his return to competitive racing after a gap of several years, showcasing his enduring passion for the sport.
A Memorable Win and Celebrations
Following the win, Ajith waved the Indian flag in celebration, with actor R. Madhavan and Ajith’s wife Shalini cheering him on. Videos from the event, widely shared on social media, captured heartfelt moments between Ajith and his family. In one such video, Ajith is seen kissing Shalini, who had been supporting him from the pit lane, and then embracing his daughter, Anoushka, in a warm hug.
Ajith’s racing team announced the victory on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), stating:
“Double whammy for Ajith Kumar. 3rd place in the 991 category and Spirit of the Race in the GT4 category. What a remarkable comeback after an accident due to brake failure. #AjithKumar #AjithKumarRacing #24HDubai #AKRacing #DubaiRaceWeekend #Racing.”
Overcoming a Major Setback
Ajith’s achievement is even more noteworthy considering he suffered a high-speed accident during a practice run just days before the race. A video released by his team showed his car spinning seven times after hitting a barrier due to brake failure. Fortunately, Ajith was quickly rescued and taken to an ambulance. Speaking about the incident, his manager Suresh Chandra said,
“Ajith is unhurt, hale, and healthy. He was driving at a speed of 180 km/h when the accident occurred.”
Despite the setback, Ajith displayed resilience and determination, making his podium finish an inspiring comeback story.
Upcoming Film Projects
On the professional front, Ajith is gearing up for two major releases:
- Vidaamuyarchi, directed by Magizh Thirumeni. While fans eagerly await updates, the release date for this project has not been announced yet.
- Good Bad Ugly, directed by Adhik Ravichandran, is slated for release on April 10.
Ajith Kumar’s performance at the Dubai 24H and his ability to balance his passion for racing with his acting career continue to inspire his fans and admirers.
