Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, C. Joseph Vijay, is scheduled to inaugurate the Michelin Le Mans Cup at the Silverstone circuit in Northampton, UK, on Saturday evening. Mr. Vijay, who arrived in London on Friday, is making his first foreign visit following the Tamil Nadu Assembly election in May 2026. During his trip, he plans to engage in discussions with industry and company heads to attract investments to Tamil Nadu.
Earlier this month, Mr. Vijay announced plans to establish a 'Motor Sports City' in Tamil Nadu to host Formula 1, 2, 3, and 4 races, as well as an 'Olympic City' in Chennai to train athletes for the Olympics. Ajith Kumar, a Tamil cinema actor and former colleague of the Chief Minister, will also participate in the Silverston race.
Mr. Kumar expressed his gratitude to Mr. Vijay for coming to the circuit, stating that the visit would help him understand what is required for India and Chennai to host such events. Ajith Kumar, representing the Ajith RedAnt by Virage team, will compete in the LMP3 Pro/Am category, driving a Ligier alongside French driver Romain Vozniak.
