Tamil cinema stars Ajith Kumar and Vijay are set to share the spotlight at Silverstone, decades after their careers and fan bases became linked by a long-running rivalry. Vijay, now Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, is attending the Michelin Le Mans Cup round as a special guest and will wave the ceremonial green flag, while Ajith is competing in the LMP3 Pro/Am category. The Le Mans Cup organisers confirmed Vijay’s appearance, saying he would support Indian drivers and officially start the race. Ajith has also praised Vijay’s efforts to promote motorsport in Tamil Nadu, calling the development plans a potential boost for racing in India.
