TVS Racing will launch the third season of the TVS Apache Racing Experience GP (ARE GP) International on November 15, 2026, expanding the championship to seven countries. The 2026-27 season will cover India, Mexico, Colombia, Nepal, Morocco, Egypt and Ivory Coast, marking the programme’s widest international reach so far.
The championship aims to attract more than 1,200 participants across 20 cities. It will feature multiple racing categories, including dedicated participation opportunities for women riders. The initiative is part of TVS Apache’s efforts to provide customers and motorcycle enthusiasts with access to competitive racing in a structured environment.
Since its introduction, TVS ARE GP has reached 20 cities and engaged more than 4,000 participants. The programme began in 2007 as an opportunity for TVS Apache customers to experience racing in a safe and professional setting. In 2023, TVS Racing developed it into a structured championship for premium motorcycle customers.
The 2025-26 season marked the programme’s first international expansion, covering India, Mexico, Colombia and Nepal. The season concluded with a championship finale at the Madras International Circuit in Chennai. The upcoming season will build on that experience by entering three additional countries in Africa: Morocco, Egypt and Ivory Coast.
Vimal Sumbly, Head of Premium Business at TVS Motor Company, said the championship had developed from a customer racing initiative into a platform aimed at making competitive motorsport more accessible. He said the expansion to seven countries would help extend TVS Racing’s experience and racing culture to more markets while creating opportunities for emerging riders.
TVS Apache’s “Racing DNA Unleashed” ethos and #FireWithin philosophy underpin the championship. The programme is intended to give riders an opportunity to develop their skills through organised competition and help build a broader community around grassroots motorsport.
The multi-category format is expected to widen participation, with the women’s customer category continuing to form part of the championship. The initiative also seeks to provide a pathway for riders who want to move from recreational riding towards organised racing. TVS Racing has more than four decades of involvement in motorsport. Through ARE GP, the company aims to use this experience to build participation at the customer level and strengthen its international racing presence.
