Suresh Chandra, his Manager, shared an update on the actor's health. "Ajith is unhurt, hale and healthy. He was driving at a speed of 180 km when this happened," he shared.  The actor, who owns Ajith Kumar Racing, will be competing in the highly competitive Porsche 992 class alongside teammates Mathieu Detry, Fabian Duffieux, and Cameron McLeod. Notably, Fabian Duffieux assumed the role of team manager for Ajith Kumar Racing in December.

The 24H Dubai race, which will mark Ajith’s racing firm’s debut in the world of competitive racing, holds great significance. The team has partnered with Bas Koeten Racing for technical and logistical support. Ajith, who returned to Chennai with his family after celebrating the New Year and his daughter Anoushka’s birthday in Singapore, is gearing up for an intense racing season ahead.
