One of the most globally celebrated names in the Tamil industry, Ajith Kumar goes beyond being an actor. His love for cars and bikes attracted him to become a part of the Dubai 24 Hours race, a sports car race held annually at the Dubai Autodrome. However, Ajith had a shocking car crash during a practice session.

The sports car enthusiast faced a significant car crash during a practice session for 24H Dubai 2025. It was during his six-hour-long endurance test that he crashed into the barriers, a couple of minutes before the test session came to an end.

For the uninitiated, the Vidaamuyarchi actor owns the racing team called Ajith Kumar Racing, and he was set to participate in the race along with his teammates, Mathieu Detry, Fabian Duffieux, and Cameron McLeod. In December, Duffieux took over the role of team manager for Ajith Kumar Racing.

In the video shared by his team, Ajith's car spins several times as soon as it crashed into the barriers. He was then instantly rescued and taken to an ambulance to check for any injuries.


The actor's manager, Suresh Chandra, shared an update on his health and said, "Ajith is unhurt, hale, and healthy. He was driving at a speed of 180 km/h when this happened."

No matter the setback, our passion for racing pushes us to keep going, to keep improving, and to keep learning from every experience. The road ahead is still full of lessons, and we are ready to face them all as a team, as a family.'

One of his other teammates spoke to Hindustan Times and said, 'Yes, he narrowly escaped an accident his race car hit the barrier during the practice run at around 12:45 pm. The security personnel present there responded immediately. Ajith shifted to another race car because this one was totalled and continued practice. Thankfully, he is unharmed.'

Besides being a phenomenal actor, Ajith Kumar is also known for his passion for driving bikes and sports cars. He has been practicing for the race along with his team for quite some time now.

24H Dubai 2025 is scheduled to be held on January 11-12.
