TVS Apache Racing Experience GP Season 3 Accelerates Global Expansion Across Seven Countries

Bengaluru, Oct 26:With over four decades of racing excellence powering its journey, TVS Racing today announced the third season of the TVS Apache Racing Experience GP International, commencing November 15, 2026. Driven by TVS Apache’s “Racing DNA Unleashed” ethos & #FireWithin philosophy, TVS ARE GP is accelerating its global racing ambitions with its most expansive season yet. The 2026-27 championship will span seven countries — India, Mexico, Colombia, Nepal, Morocco, Egypt and Ivory Coast, taking the thrill of competitive racing to a growing global community. This expansion reinforces TVS ARE GP’s vision of building an accessible, structured and aspirational pathway to motorsport for TVS Apache customers and enthusiasts, while strengthening the brand’s racing legacy and international footprint.

This year, the championship will feature a multi-category format, building on the introduction of the women’s customer category and expanding its competitive reach across 20 cities. The season is expected to bring together over 1,200 participants, while the championship has, since its inception, reached 20 cities and engaged more than 4,000 participants. With TVS Racing’s expanding footprint and growing participation, TVS ARE GP is evolving into a more inclusive and globally connected racing ecosystem. TVS Apache’s mission is to democratise motorsport through continuous development and give customers and motorsport enthusiasts the opportunity to experience the thrill of competitive racing.

Vimal Sumbly, Head – Premium Business, TVS Motor Company said,

“TVS ARE GP has grown from a customer racing platform into a championship that embodies TVS Racing’s belief in making competitive motorsport more accessible and creating a strong pathway for racing talent. As we enter Season 3, our expansion to seven countries marks an important step in taking this racing ecosystem to a truly global stage. For us, this is not simply about expanding the championship’s footprint, but about extending our racing culture, expertise and standards to riders across markets, while creating opportunities for emerging talent to experience competitive racing. With a strong foundation built on championships and a deep understanding of grassroots motorsport, TVS ARE GP is evolving into a globally connected platform that will continue to nurture riders, strengthen racing communities and take the spirit of TVS Racing to the world.”

Introduced in 2007, TVS ARE GP began as a platform for TVS Apache customers to experience competitive racing in a safe and professional environment. In 2023, TVS Racing expanded TVS ARE GP into a structured championship programme, creating a customer-first premium racing platform. The 2025-26 season marked a significant milestone with the championship entering its first international expansion across India, Mexico, Colombia and Nepal, including a championship finale at the Madras International Circuit (MIC), Chennai. Building on this foundation, Season 3 marks the next phase of TVS ARE GP’s evolution, taking the championship to more countries and establishing a broader global platform for grassroots motorsport.
