You race to win, not merely participate. And when you take to the wheels of a car, you set yourself on course of an experience that could be life-changing. You sit seat belted with all the concentration you need to face a remarkable set of challenges that are as exciting as they are exasperating. Even more so when it comes to Endurance Racing!
Mark the word. Endurance.
For in many ways, it’s the tenet of life facing- and countering which- we attain glory.
The Asian Le Mans Series 2025, which, as the name suggests, is typically a championship that is used as a path towards the 24 hours of Le Mans.
It’s endurance racing. And in a one-of-a-kind mould.
And the series, needless to say, stands as an important milestone in the life of one of India’s most noted and beloved talents in the realm of Motorsport, Aditya Patel. A challenging series, it might not be wrong to state that the Asian Le Mans Series is at the cornerstone of rigour and patience.

The series presents an exciting challenge for the likes of Aditya, it being new in terms of the car.
He’s undoubtedly been familiar to the standpoint of GT cars for most of his career. But even as the endurance format is not unknown to the affable racer, it’s been a while since the incredible talent who participated in the Formula BMW Pacific and the 24 Hours of Nurburgring raced a car.
That should perhaps make the opportunity of seeing the triumvirate, comprising Ajith Kumar, a star for India but a racer at heart (one who stays true to life’s every part) and Narain Karthikeyan, India’s first ever Formula 1 driver, utterly exciting.
Besides, the Asian Le Mans 2025 presents a big challenge to each of the three names with unique racing prowess and not to forget, redoubtable racecraft.
Here is what the fan should look forward to it
Motorsport isn’t only formula 1. Perhaps a longstanding fact, which the new age fan, must wake up to despite the world of F1 being as intoxicating as it is entertaining.
With Ajith Kumar racing taking up an endurance challenge, racing fans get an opportunity to witness something different – a different sort of excitement, a different format but all the same adrenaline that motorsport has to offer.
The drivers will contest in the LMP3 class and shall use the Toyota V35A 3.5 l twin-turbo V6 engine.
Notably, the six-event season in the Asian Le Mans 2025 will begin from December this year and is primed to be the 14th season of the Automobile Club de l’Ouest‘s Asian Le Mans Series.
The 24-hour of Le Mans format will unfurl a fiesta of endurance that’ll hopefully draw fans from all around the world, not just the handheld device-holding binge watchers who relish “eating, sleeping and drinking” racing!
