Actor Ajith Kumar was bestowed with the esteemed ‘Gentleman Driver of the Year 2025’ award by the SRO Motor Sport Group in recognition of his exemplary conduct and performance on the race track.
The actor, a passionate motorsports enthusiast, received the accolade in Italy, with the ceremony taking place in Venice, where he was accompanied by his family.
Ajith Kumar is one of the few Indian actors to successfully maintain a dual career as a major film star and a professional racer. His dedication to the sport is evident in the formation of his own racing company, ‘Ajith Kumar Racing’.
He has an established history in motorsports, having previously competed in events like the Formula 2 Championship.
The ‘Gentleman Driver’ award specifically acknowledges the best drivers who compete in SRO-sanctioned events as non-professional drivers, recognizing not only their speed and skill but also their professionalism, respect, and ethical behaviour on and off the track.
