Chennai: Actor Ajith Kumar's car racing team, Ajithkumar Racing, is fast making winning a habit.  

Following their impressive third-place finish in the 991 category of the 24H Dubai 2025 earlier this year, the team has now claimed third place at the challenging 12H Mugello car racing event in Italy.

Ajithkumar Racing marked the achievement by sharing a video on their X timeline, captioned, "Victory in style! Team @Akracingoffl shines at the 12H Mugello, Italy, celebrating a fantastic podium finish! Kudos to @fabian_fdx89, @mathdetry, and @BasKoetenRacing for their stellar performance on the track!"

With this second podium finish, the team is preparing for their next challenge — the 12H Spa-Francorchamps race in Belgium.

Commenting on their success, Ajithkumar Racing stated, “That's another podium for Ajith Kumar Racing in Europe for the @24hseries 12h of Mugello P3 in the 992 AM category for our three lions. Next stop, Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium for the 12h of Spa.”

Ajith not only competes as a racer but also owns the Ajith Kumar Racing team. His teammates include Mathieu Detry, Fabian Duffieux, and Cameron McLeod. The team collaborates with Bas Koeten Racing for technical and logistical support.

Ajith's dedication to racing has earned admiration from his teammates. In February, Fabian Duffieux praised the actor's growth, stating, "What an improvement since our fest testing together in November! 1,38,4 today in Free practice at Valencia! This guy has the fire in him and he’s such a good fighter! Dedicated and motivated like I never saw before! Can’t wait to fight together in Mugello"!

Earlier this month, Fabian highlighted Ajith's remarkable progress, noting, “Incredible how Ajith has improved over four months only! Coming from no experience in GT3 race cars! The first video was his fastest lap four months ago and the second one is the last weekend fastest lap! Four seconds faster! This guy has it in him!”

Ajith has chosen to focus on his racing career, postponing new film projects until the end of the racing season. He has confirmed that he plans to work on a film between October and March, before the racing season resumes.
