TVS launches Apache Racing Experience in Nepal

TVS Motor Company on Monday announced the launch of TVS Apache Racing Experience International (ARE GP) in Nepal, marking the brand’s international expansion of its racing platform and coinciding with 20 years of the TVS Apache series.

The day long event was held at the Vehicle Academy and Research Center, Satungal, and drew over 55 participants and 300 visitors in its first selection round. Riders competed on a professionally designed circuit with 10 technical corners, with performance judged on fastest lap timings.

The championship was contested across three categories using TVS Apache 160cc, 200cc and 310cc motorcycles, creating a structured platform for riders across segments to showcase riding skills, speed and racecraft.

Top three finishers in each category will earn a chance to race at the Madras International Circuit (MIC) in April 2026 against champions from four countries. Winners will receive an all expenses paid MotoGP experience, an opportunity to compete in the TVS India One Make Championship, official racing merchandise, a factory visit and entries to marquee TVS riding events.

The event also featured Apache Pro Performance showcases, gymkhana sessions and music performances, offering a complete motorsport festival experience.

Vimal Sumbly, Head Premium Business, TVS Motor Company, said the international expansion of ARE GP was a natural progression of the brand’s racing legacy. “ARE GP has played a key role in nurturing grassroots motorsports, and Nepal’s growing community of performance enthusiasts makes it an ideal destination,” he said.

Shahil Agrawal, Executive Director, Jagdamba Motors, said the initiative would help channel young riders’ aspirations into a structured format while boosting performance motorcycling and nurturing local talent.

TVS Racing, with a legacy spanning over four decades, has played a key role in shaping the Apache brand, which has crossed 6.5 million customers globally.
