Chennai: Renowned Indian racer and former Formula One driver Narain Karthikeyan was recently seen guiding Aadvik, son of actor and motorsport enthusiast Ajith Kumar, at a race track. The youngster appeared to be picking up early lessons in car racing from one of the country’s most respected drivers.

 Ajithkumar Racing, the actor’s official racing team, posted pictures on its official X (formerly known as Twitter) handle showing Karthikeyan sharing insights with Aadvik. The post read, "At the track with Narain Karthikeyan. @narainracing" and then posted another tweet that read, "Tips to the little master from the maestro @narainracing."

Ajith himself was present at the venue, dressed in racing gear, alongside his son. It appears that Aadvik is following in his father’s footsteps, embracing the world of motorsport with enthusiasm.

In April this year, actor Ajith Kumar, who came back to Chennai after having participated in intense and gruelling car races in Dubai and Europe, was spotted giving tips to his son Aadvik on racing at a Go-Kart circuit in the city.

Ajith has been blazing an impressive trail on the race tracks. After having done the country proud earlier this year by emerging third in the 991 category of the 24H Dubai 2025, the actor and his racing team recently emerged third in the intensely contested 12H Mugello car racing event in Italy. He and his team followed it up with a third podium finish at the Creventic Endurance Race held at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium, in the Porsche 992 GT3 Cup category, where they secured the second place.

Ajith is not only racing but is also the owner of the Ajithkumar Racing team. Ajith's other teammates who participate with him in races are Mathieu Detry, Fabian Duffieux and Cameron McLeod. Ajith’s team has roped in Bas Koeten Racing as its technical and logistical partner.
