In the 991 category, the Tamil celebrity’s team, Ajith Kumar Racing by Bas Koeten, placed third, and in the GT4 category, he was named the Spirit of the Race.
In an extraordinary feat that has sent waves of excitement through his fanbase, Tamil cinema icon Ajith Kumar has made a resounding comeback by securing a remarkable third place at the 24H Dubai 2025 endurance race. This victory is not just a personal triumph for the superstar but a beacon of hope and inspiration for his legion of admirers, especially coming on the heels of a harrowing accident during a training session that left many concerned.
Ajith Kumar Racing, partnering with Bas Koeten Racing, took the spotlight in the 991 category, a class known for its intense competition and skilled drivers. His manager, Suresh Chandra, took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to share the exhilarating news. In a heartfelt message, Chandra praised Ajith’s indomitable spirit, highlighting the actor’s determination and resilience. “What a remarkable comeback after an accident due to a brake failure,” Chandra wrote, underscoring the adversity Ajith overcame to achieve this success.
In an equally impressive feat, Ajith also received the Spirit of the Race award in the GT4 category, further cementing his status as a versatile and courageous competitor. This recognition not only celebrates his performance on the track but also his unwavering dedication and sportsmanship.
Tamil actor R Madhavan, who stood by Ajith at the event, expressed his admiration and pride in a heartfelt social media post. “So so proud… what a man. The one and only. Ajith Kumar,” Madhavan wrote, sharing a video of himself and Ajith proudly waving the Indian flag. The bond between the two stars, visible in the shared moment of celebration, resonated deeply with fans. Director Adhik Ravichandran also joined the chorus of praise, posting a video of Ajith receiving his trophy. “You made India proud. We love you, sir. We are all proud of you, dear sir,” Ravichandran’s words echoed the sentiment of many.
The road to this triumphant moment was anything but smooth. Just days before the race, a video of Ajith involved in a dramatic car crash circulated widely on social media. The footage showed a vehicle losing control and crashing into the safety barrier before spinning to a halt. Despite the frightening incident, Ajith emerged unscathed, a testament to his calm under pressure and physical resilience. The incident, though alarming, did not deter the actor from his racing ambitions.
In a candid statement following the crash, Ajith Kumar Racing detailed the actor’s decision to step back from driving in the upcoming Dubai 24H Series. The decision, driven by caution and responsibility, showcased Ajith’s ability to prioritize safety over personal ambition. However, in a bold and strategic move, Ajith took on dual roles in the event. As the owner of Ajith Kumar Racing by Bas Koeten, he oversaw the team’s participation in the Porsche 992 Cup Car category while also competing as a driver for Ajith Kumar Racing by Razoon in the Porsche Cayman GT4 class.
This dual role exemplifies Ajith’s multifaceted talents and unwavering passion for motorsport. His ability to navigate the complexities of team ownership while competing at a high level highlights his deep commitment to the sport and his team.
Ajith Kumar’s journey at the 24H Dubai 2025 is more than a story of racing; it is a narrative of perseverance, resilience, and triumph over adversity. His ability to inspire, both on and off the track, continues to resonate with fans and fellow competitors alike, solidifying his legacy as a true champion in every sense of the word.
