Focus on Motorsports
Ajith, currently in Dubai for the 24H Dubai 2025 competition with his team, Ajith Kumar Racing, spoke to a television channel about balancing his acting career and passion for racing.
When asked if his film contracts include provisions for his racing pursuits, Ajith said:
“No, I don’t need to be told what to do or what not to do. For now, as I plan to pursue motorsports not just as a driver but as a team owner as well, I won’t be signing films until the racing season is on. Between October and March, before the racing season starts, I will act in films. This ensures no one is worried, and I can give my all during races.”
The Thrill of 24H Dubai
When asked about the 24H Dubai 2025 and what drew him to the event, Ajith explained:
“In the formats I have been racing, they have mostly been sprinting races. The 24H Dubai is a team sport involving one car with multiple drivers. It’s not just about you; it’s about the car and the equipment. You save the equipment for your co-drivers. It’s truly a team effort.”
Preparations Amid Challenges
Despite a car crash during a practice session on Tuesday that left his vehicle badly damaged, Ajith continued preparations unfazed. On Wednesday, he practiced driver change drills and focused on improving pitstop strategies and efficiency.
Ajith Kumar Racing, his team, will compete in the Porsche 992 class, alongside teammates Mathieu Detry, Fabian Duffieux, and Cameron McLeod. Notably, Fabian Duffieux took over as the team manager in December 2024.
