His team, Ajith Kumar Racing, will compete in the Asian Le Mans Series, and Indian motorsport legend Narain Karthikeyan has officially joined the squad.

Ajith shared the news on social media, saying, “It is truly a privilege to have Narain join the team. Racing alongside him is an honour. With Narain, this Asian Le Mans Series is something very special for all of us.”
Ajith, recently awarded the Padma Bhushan, has long balanced his blockbuster film career with his love for racing. From the 2010 Formula 2 Championship to the 2022 Sepang 12 Hours, he has pushed boundaries on the racetrack. Now, launching his own team is his boldest move yet.
Narain Karthikeyan, India’s first Formula One driver, brings decades of global racing experience.
Narain Karthikeyan has packed his career with achievements, winning the British Formula Ford and securing a podium in the Super GT x DTM Dream Race. He said, “I have known Ajith for years. Watching him race professionally is great. I feel thrilled to join him for the Asian Le Mans Series.”
The Asian Le Mans Series is a prestigious endurance championship modeled after the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans.
