Reflecting on his racing journey, Ajith revealed, “I started motorcycle racing in India at 18 but had to pause due to work commitments. I returned to motorsport in 2002 at the age of 32, transitioning to four-wheelers." Since his return, he has competed in various national championships in India and international events such as the Formula BMW Asia Championship (2003) and British Formula 3 (2004).

Ajith also participated in the European Formula 2 series in 2010 but faced challenges balancing racing and his acting career.

Recently, a training session video showed Ajith’s car colliding with a safety barrier at 180 km/h, causing considerable damage. However, Ajith escaped unscathed and is determined to excel in the upcoming competition.

Ajith’s return to racing is seen as a bold move to balance his passion for motorsport and his acting career, solidifying his reputation as a multi-talented personality.
