Ajith Kumar‘s motorsport schedule for 2026-27 reveals a professional racing commitment that leaves almost no continuous window long enough for a full film shoot. Across the Creventic European Series, the Michelin Le Mans Cup, and the Asian Le Mans Series, the Tamil superstar has 14 confirmed race events between March 2026 and January 2027 — spread across nine countries and three continents. With AK64, his next film with director Adhik Ravichandran, still in pre-production following a producer change, Ajith Kumar’s racing calendar makes the film’s shoot timeline one of Tamil cinema’s most closely watched scheduling puzzles of 2026.
What Does Ajith Kumar’s Full Racing Calendar for 2026-27 Look Like?

The Ajith Kumar racing schedule 2026 opens at Mugello, Italy on March 20 and does not close until Sepang, Malaysia in January 2027 — 14 events across Italy, Spain, Belgium, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Portugal, Abu Dhabi, the UAE, and Malaysia. The calendar spans two European series running simultaneously from March through October and then transitions to the Asian Le Mans Series for the final three rounds. The most compressed stretch in the schedule falls in early July: the Creventic round at Nürburg runs July 3 to 5, with the Michelin Le Mans Cup round at Imola also listed for July 5 — the same closing date, across two different series.

What Does This Schedule Actually Leave for AK64?
Working through the calendar, two usable production windows emerge. The first is the stretch between now and the Mugello opener on March 20 — a window that has effectively already closed for any sustained shoot. The second and more significant gap runs from the Portimão round on October 10 to the Asian Le Mans opener at Yas Marina on November 13: approximately five weeks. After the Sepang close in January 2027, a longer post-racing window opens — but that places any 2026-titled film firmly into 2027 territory.

AK64 is produced by Vels International after Mythri Movie Makers exited the project following budget disagreements and losses from Good Bad Ugly in non-Tamil markets. Sreeleela is reported as the female lead and Anirudh Ravichander is on board for music. The film was originally planned to begin shooting in February 2026 but has not gone on floors yet. The five-week October window is now the most realistic near-term option for meaningful production — assuming all pre-production work is completed before Portimão.

Who Is Ajith Kumar Racing Alongside in His 2026-27 Campaign?
Ajith Kumar races for Team Virage in a Ligier JS P325 in the LMP3 class. His co-driver is Narain Karthikeyan, India’s first and only Formula 1 driver. The pairing means the 2026-27 campaign carries the most prominent Indian name recognition on the European endurance circuit since Karthikeyan’s own F1 career — a Tamil superstar and a former Grand Prix driver competing together across circuits including Silverstone, Spa-Francorchamps, and Nürburg. For the Michelin Le Mans Cup, the 2026 season features a record 45-car grid — placing the pairing in the largest field the series has ever run. The Asian Le Mans Series leg closing in Sepang, Malaysia confirms that this is not a single-event appearance but a full multi-series professional campaign across two race seasons, two hemispheres, and ten months of continuous competition.
