Actor Ajith Kumar received the Gentleman Driver of the Year 2025 recognition in Venice from SRO Motorsports Group, with the accolade honoring late racing driver Philippe Charriol. His wife Shalini shared images from the ceremony on social media, expressing pride in accompanying him for the presentation by SRO chief Stéphane Ratel.
The Tamil cinema star launched Ajith Kumar Racing earlier this year, competing across four European and Middle Eastern endurance championships while driving alongside teammates. The squad became India's first full-time international racing operation in multiple series and secured its maiden podium finish during the debut season.
Following the campaign's conclusion in October, the team acknowledged mechanical difficulties and setbacks while emphasizing growth through adversity. Kumar pledged continued dedication and focus for future competitions after thanking organizers, personnel and supporters.
