Actor Ajith Kumar begins preparations for third round of GT4 European series
"My favourite person, who, like you say, I idolise, is Ayrton Senna - Ajith Kumar"

Chennai, June 24

Actor Ajith Kumar is back to doing what he does best -- blazing away on the race tracks! Yes, the actor is back at the Spa Francorchamps circuit in Belgium training hard for the third round of the GT4 European series.

Ajith's racing team, Ajith Kumar official, posted a video of the actor in Belgium, checking his vehicle and the circuit as he began preparations for another gruelling race.

The team wrote, "AK at Spa Francorchamps circuit, Belgium preparing for the 3rd round of GT4 European series coming weekend."

It may be recalled that Ajith, who is known to be a huge fan of Ayrton Senna, had only recently got himself a brand new McLauren Senna car.

The actor, who had been training hard at the Paul Ricard Circuit in France earlier this year, had clocked his personal best lap timing of 2:08.571 while testing in the Porsche GT3 R.

When Ajith bought a Mc Lauren Senna, the actor's racing team, Ajith Kumar Racing, on its X timeline, put out a picture of the actor with his car and had said, "Senna brought to life with Ajith Kumar bringing the Mc Laren Senna home!"

Ajith has already disclosed that Ayrton Senna is his idol in the racing world. The actor, in an interview, had said, "My favourite person, who, like you say, I idolise, is Ayrton Senna."

It may also be recalled that a few days ago, a video clip that showed Ajith paying his respects to a statue of the legendary Formula One racer at the Senna Memorial in São Paulo, Brazil, had gone viral.

In the video clip, Ajith was seen kissing the feet of the life-sized statue of Ayrton Senna.

The actor, who has actively been pursuing his passion of motorsport racing, has done the country proud at least thrice on the race tracks in 2025.

For the unaware, Ajith is not only racing but is also the owner of the team Ajith Kumar Racing. 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.

The actor's team began the year on a winning note, emerging third in the 991 category of the 24H Dubai 2025. The actor and his racing team then 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 second place.

Thala Ajith proving age is just a number! 🚗💨 So proud to see an Indian actor representing us internationally in motorsports. His dedication to racing while balancing films is truly inspiring. Wishing him all the best for GT4 series!

While I admire Ajith's passion, I wonder if such expensive hobbies send the right message when most Indians struggle with basic needs. That McLaren Senna costs more than what 1000 families earn in a year. Just saying.

His lap timing of 2:08.571 is impressive for a non-professional racer! Shows how seriously he takes this sport. As a motorsport fan, I'm thrilled to see an Indian making waves in European circuits. More power to you, AK!

The way he kissed Senna's statue shows true sportsmanship and respect for legends. Not many actors would pause their busy schedules to pursue passion like this. Ajith is different class altogether! #Respect

Hope he maintains this racing form for his films too! His last release was average at best. But can't deny his commitment to racing - three podiums in 2025 is no joke. Waiting to see him on both silver screen and race tracks!

This is why I respect Ajith sir - no PR stunts, no social media drama. Just pure passion for racing. Meanwhile other stars are busy with Instagram reels, he's clocking laps in Belgium. True inspiration for youth! 🙌
