It's well known that the racing bug has bitten Jai and that he has been
training hard on the tracks for the past few months. Now, the latest is
that the actor will be participating in his first-ever car racing
tournament this Sunday, which is to be held at Sriperumbudur.
The
actor tells us, “The National Racing Championship is a tournament in
which people from across the country will be participating.Two
rounds will be held in Chennai and Coimbatore each, and the finale will
be held in Delhi. This is one of the tournaments that forms the base for
anyone who wants to participate in formula races. I've been practising
for the last seven
months, and I'm quite nervous about the upcoming race. There are about
29 participants, and not everyone will be able to finish it. My
engineers and trainer have told me that I should aim to finish in the
top five.
Jai says he's been crazy about racing since his
childhood. “I started taking a personal interest when I met another
racer, Abdullah. I was unsure about how I would be able to concentrate
on my films and the races. But he told me how actor Ajith used to
practise and that gave me confidence. I started taking time out on
Sundays and hit the tracks.
When I told the producer of one of my
films that I would be participating in this tournament, he reworked the
film's schedule to suit my needs.The units of my other films have also been understanding,“ he says.
