Ajith further shared his enthusiasm about competing on the very circuit where Formula 1 legend Ayrton Senna secured his first victory. Acknowledging the difficulties posed by the track, he mentioned that his timing had shown improvement. Speaking on the sport’s increasing popularity in his home country since his involvement, he told The Times of India, “It truly excites me to see them embracing something I love so much.” Despite the accident, his team managed to repair the car in time for the qualifying round, allowing Ajith to participate successfully.

This incident marks the second accident Ajith has experienced recently. In January, while training for the Dubai 24H race, his car crashed into a safety barrier, spinning multiple times before coming to a stop.

His team, Ajith Kumar Racing by Bas Koeten, secured third place in the 991 category, while Ajith himself received the prestigious Spirit of the Race recognition in the GT4 category.
