Building on more than four decades of racing excellence, TVS Racing has successfully concluded the inaugural international season of the TVS Apache Racing Experience (ARE) GP 2025-26. Designed as a premium, customer-first racing platform, TVS ARE GP reflects the Apache brand’s ethos of “Racing DNA Unleashed” and aims to democratize motorsports by enabling enthusiasts to experience professional, structured racing in a safe environment. Since 2007, the platform has engaged over 4,000 riders globally.
Spanning June 2025 to March 2026, the international season took place across India, Mexico, Colombia, and Nepal, drawing participation from more than 1,100 riders in over 20 cities. The grand finale was held at the Madras International Circuit (MIC), Chennai, featuring 60 finalists competing alongside 45 media riders in front of an audience of over 500 racing enthusiasts.
At its core, TVS ARE GP promotes inclusivity and skill development. Guided by TVS Racing champions, participants underwent structured on-track training covering braking, cornering, racing body language, discipline, and track etiquette. This holistic approach helped riders evolve from enthusiasts to confident and responsible racers.
Participants competed across multiple categories: TVS Apache RTR 160cc / 180cc, TVS Apache 200cc, and TVS Apache 310cc. Media categories included the first-ever Women’s category, along with Men’s and Expert divisions, fostering wider participation and skill-building opportunities. This tiered system allowed riders to gradually progress from basic track training to competitive racing in a professional environment.
