Actor and motorsports enthusiast Ajith Kumar was recently involved in a crash during the GT4 European Series at the Misano World Circuit in Italy. Competing in the second round of the championship, the Tamil superstar escaped the incident unhurt but had to retire from the race.
Collision and Unexpected Heroism
The crash occurred when Ajith’s car collided with a stationary vehicle on the track. While the impact was significant, Ajith safely exited the car without any injuries. What stood out most, however, was his grounded and selfless response. Instead of walking away, Ajith immediately joined track marshals in clearing debris from the circuit.
A viral video captured the actor assisting officials, prompting praise from fans and race commentators. One commentator noted, “Ajith Kumar out of the car, out of the race… He’s a fine champ, he goes and helps the marshals clear up all the body. Not many drivers would do that.”
Out of the race with damage, but still happy to help with the clean-up.
Full respect, Ajith Kumar

A Resilient Racer and National Honoree
Ajith’s love for motorsports dates back to 2003. After a break, he recently made a strong return, participating in races across Germany, Malaysia, and even the Formula 2 Championship in 2010. His racing comeback has been hailed as inspiring and courageous.
This incident follows another proud moment for Ajith — receiving the Padma Bhushan, India’s third-highest civilian honor, for his contributions to cinema and motorsport.
