Ajith Kumar Races Ahead: From Film Icon To Formula E Tracks In Spain
Ajith Kumar, one of Tamil cinema’s most celebrated stars, is blazing a new trail , not on the big screen, but on the racetrack. During a recent trip to Spain, the actor lived his motorsport dream by test-driving the Mahindra Formula-E Gen 2 car, leaving fans and car enthusiasts amazed by his skill behind the wheel.
Business magnate Anand Mahindra shared photos of Ajith in action on X, writing, “Spain, Speed, and Style. A powerful and classic combination. Great to see you on the track, Thiru Ajith Kumar. Looking forward to your next adventure.”
But Ajith’s time in Spain wasn’t just a high-speed joyride. He met the Mahindra Formula E team and exchanged insights with Dutch driver Nyck de Vries, known for his expertise in electric race cars. This learning experience comes as Ajith prepares for the GT4 European Series in Barcelona, marking yet another milestone in his motorsport journey.
Having already made waves in the racing circuit, Ajith recently bagged third place in the AM class of the Michelin Creventic Porsche GT3 Cup and secured fourth position in the Barcelona 24H endurance race - an impressive feat for someone balancing stardom with racing.
Now, the actor-turned-racer is gearing up for the 2025 Asian Le Mans Series, where he’ll compete in the LMP3 class alongside fellow Indian driver Narain Karthikeyan. Driving a Ligier JS P325 powered by a 3.6-litre twin-turbo V6 Toyota engine, Ajith will race across Yas Marina (Abu Dhabi), Dubai Autodrome and Sepang (Malaysia).
Ajith’s passion for motorsport has led him to temporarily step back from films, proving that his pursuit of speed is more than a hobby - it’s a calling. Whether on screen or on the track, Ajith Kumar continues to inspire fans with his fearlessness, discipline, and drive to excel.
