Jai’s car racing passion – inspired by Ajith

Twelve years ago, Ajith participated in the National Racing Championship in Sriperumbudur. Renowned F1 racer Narain Karthikeyan was on the track back then to mentor Ajith. Cut back to 2014. Actor Jai, whose Vadacurry is getting hugely positive reviews everywhere, has been inspired by Ajith to hit the tracks. He is all set to participate in the National Racing Championship in Sriperumbudur this Sunday and aims to finish in top five.

“This is one of the tournaments that forms the base for anyone who wants to participate in formula races. I’ve been practising for the last seven months, and I’m quite nervous about the upcoming race. I started taking a personal interest when I met another racer, Abdullah. I was unsure about how I would be able to concentrate on my films and the races. But he told me how actor Ajith used to practise and that gave me confidence,” says Jai.
