TVS Apache Racing Experience GP Season 3: What’s new?

The championship adds three new countries

Season 3 of the ARE GP expands the championship from four countries to seven. Last season marked its first international expansion, spanning India, Mexico, Colombia and Nepal, and ended with a finale at MMRT in Chennai. Since its inception, the championship has reached 20 cities and attracted more than 4,000 participants. This season alone, TVS expects over 1,200 participants.

As before, the season will follow a multi-category format. The men’s classes are 160/180cc, 200cc and 310cc. There will also be a separate women’s class in the 200cc category, riding the RTR 200, subject to participation.

Women from the media will compete in a separate 200cc race on the RTR 200, while men from the media can participate in either the novice or the expert 310cc categories aboard the Apache RTR 310, based on their previous racing experience and results.

The winner of each category will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to a MotoGP race in Asia and wildcard entries for two rounds of the TVS Racing International Championship, which uses the RR 310. The first runner-up will receive a ticket to the MotoGP Sepang GP, along with a wildcard entry for one round of the championship. Third-place finishers will receive a ticket to a MotoGP race in Asia. All three podium finishers will also receive Petronas TVS Racing merchandise and a visit to the TVS factory.

The season will open in Chennai, and after 19 other rounds across Coimbatore, Jaipur, Morocco, Hyderabad, Indore, Nepal, Vadodara, Cochin, Mumbai, Ivory Coast, Bengaluru, Lucknow, Pune, Mexico, Delhi, Colombia, Kolkata, Guwahati and Egypt, it will return to Chennai for the finale on April 11, 2027.
