TVS Racing Concludes First International Season of Apache Racing Experience GP

TVS Racing concluded the inaugural international season of the TVS Apache Racing Experience (ARE) GP on April 6, 2026, at the Madras International Circuit, Chennai, completing a nine-month campaign held across India, Mexico, Colombia, and Nepal, in which over 1,100 participants competed across more than 20 cities.

The season finale saw 60 finalists race alongside 45 media riders before an audience of over 500 spectators. The platform, which has engaged over 4,000 customers since its launch in 2007, is structured to allow TVS Apache owners to undergo on-track training and competitive racing under professional supervision.

Participant categories spanned the TVS Apache RTR 160cc, 180cc, 200cc, and 310cc. Media categories included a women's category — a first for the platform — alongside men's and expert categories. Training focused on braking, cornering, race discipline, and track conduct, guided by TVS Racing champions.

Top finishers received all-expenses-paid trips to MotoGP (Asia), wild card entries into rounds of the TVS One Make Championship on the RR 310, TVS Racing factory visits, and access to marquee riding experiences.
