TVS Racing has just crossed the finish line of a massive project, successfully wrapping up the very first international season of the TVS Apache Racing Experience (ARE) GP 2025-26, a season that proved their “Racing DNA Unleashed” motto isn’t just marketing speak—it’s a global movement. Since it first kicked off back in 2007, the ARE platform has put over 4,000 customers in the saddle. However, this inaugural international run took things to a whole new level, proving that TVS is serious about democratising motorsports for Apache owners everywhere.
A Global Tour: From Mexico to Madras
Running from June 2025 all the way through to March 2026, the first international season of TVS ARE GP was a proper world tour. The event hit over 20 cities across India, Mexico, Colombia, and Nepal, engaging more than 1,100 participants.
The whole thing came to a head with a grand finale at the legendary Madras International Circuit (MIC) in Chennai. It was a packed house with over 500 racing enthusiasts watching 60 finalists go head-to-head alongside 45 media riders.
Professional Training for the Everyday Rider
The core mission of the TVS ARE GP is to take passionate owners and turn them into capable racers in a safe, professional environment. Guided by TVS Racing champions, riders went through structured on-track training covering:
- Braking techniques and cornering precision.
- Racing body language and track manners.
- Race discipline to ensure safety at high speeds.
To make sure everyone had a fair shout, the competition was split into tiers. Customers raced in 160cc/180cc, 200cc, and 310cc categories. Meanwhile, the media folks had their own battles, including the first-ever Women’s category, alongside Men’s and Expert groups.
