The accident happened just minutes before the six-hour-long endurance test was about to end. While driving at a speed of 180 km/h, Ajith's car crashed into the barriers, causing it to spin seven times. Thankfully, Ajith was rescued quickly and taken to an ambulance. In a video released by his team, the dramatic crash was captured, showing how the car spun out of control after hitting the barrier.

Ajith's manager, Suresh Chandra, later shared an update on the actor’s health. He reassured everyone that Ajith was perfectly fine and had not suffered any injuries. He confirmed that Ajith was unhurt and in good health despite the scary crash.

Ajith is not just a successful actor but also a passionate driver and biker. He has been practicing intensely with his team for this race, which would have marked the debut of his racing team in endurance racing. Ajith was just minutes away from completing his six-hour shift when the crash happened. His teammates for the race include Mathieu Detry, Fabian Duffieux, and Cameron McLeod.

Fabian Duffieux joined as the team manager for Ajith Kumar Racing in December of the previous year. The race is known for being highly competitive, and each member of the team will take turns driving for six hours at a stretch. Despite the crash, Ajith's spirit for racing remains strong, and he is eager to return to the track.
This race, the Dubai 24 Hours, is a big deal in the world of motorsport, and it would have been a significant milestone for Ajith’s racing career. His team was looking forward to making their mark in endurance racing, and this unfortunate crash was just a temporary setback.
