Negotiations are on with Teams based in the UK, Europe & Middle East. Sponsors too are excited and keen on him coming on board. Hopefully, Ajith will have an update on this in the near future."

Ajith started his racing career in motorcycles taking part in the National Motorcycle Racing Championship. Post intensive training programs in the pro-karts and following his successful participation in the National Single-Seater Racing Championship, he then progressed to the international arena by participating in the Asian Formula BMW Championship, and the British Formula 3 Championship - securing podium finishes at the Donington Park and Knockhill circuits and then moved on to participate in the FIA Formula 2 Championship.
