The 24-hour series is one of the toughest competitions in the world because the racing will happen for an entire day and will be tiring. Even if a small lapse in concentration will put the driver and the car in so much danger. The crash is one big example of what racing is all about. It looks like Ajith oversteered his car in the corner, made it crash on the walls heavily, and threw it back on the track, spinning multiple times. The actor coming out without any big injury shows how safety in racing has evolved over the years.

The actor reduced his weight massively to prepare for the competition, as body weight is one of the biggest factors that affect the car's speed. He also trained very hard to withstand the impacts of crashes, and all that training has helped him out of the car safely. He will most likely continue his journey as a driver and compete this season. Seeing the crash and its damage, it would cost him hefty money to get it repaired.
