Ajith's accident occurred during the last segment of his practice run, which lasted nearly four hours. Chandra explained that the track's visibility was limited during one turn, leading to a slight loss of control, which ultimately caused the crash. The actor was driving at a speed of 180 km/h when the incident occurred. Despite the scare, Ajith is expected to return to practice later today and continue his preparations for the Dubai 24H race.
Ajith, who owns the Ajith Kumar Racing team, will race alongside fellow drivers Fabian Duffieux, Mathieu Detry, and Cameron McLeod at the Dubai 24 Hours, starting January 11. Ajith, who has a long history in motorsports, is known for his involvement in various racing events, including the Asian Formula BMW Championship, British Formula 3, and FIA Formula 2 Championship.
