TVS Concludes Inaugural Apache Racing Experience GP in Nepal
TVS Motor Company has successfully concluded the debut edition of the TVS Apache Racing Experience (ARE GP) in Nepal, marking a significant milestone as the brand celebrates 20 years of the TVS Apache series.
The first selection round was held at the Vehicle Academy and Research Center, Satungal, and witnessed enthusiastic participation from over 60 riders, along with an audience of more than 300 visitors.
The event provided participants with a rare opportunity to train, race, and experience the adrenaline of professional motorsport in a safe and controlled environment under the expert guidance of TVS Racing Champions.
Participants competed on a professionally designed circuit featuring 10 challenging corners, where their performances were evaluated based on fastest lap timings. The championship was divided into three distinct categories—160cc, 200cc, and 310cc—ensuring equal competitive opportunities for riders across different motorcycle segments.
In the 160cc category, Sujan Thapa Magar emerged as the winner, followed by Bibek Pandey as the first runner-up and Prashant Sutihar as the second runner-up. In the 200cc category, Abhinav Raj Malla claimed the winner’s title, with Nimesh Thakuri securing the first runner-up position and Milan Chhushyabaga finishing as the second runner-up.
Meanwhile, in the 310cc category, Deelip Danuwar dominated the track to take the winner’s crown, while Ram Bikram Thapa and Shreetesh Thapa were declared the first and second runners-up respectively.
The top three riders from each category were awarded cash prizes of Rs 25,000 along with exclusive TVS Motor riding gear. Additionally, the category winners earned an exclusive opportunity to represent Nepal at the TVS ARE GP Grand Finale, which will be held at the iconic Madras International Circuit (MIC) in Chennai in April 2026.
Introduced in 2007, the TVS Racing ARE GP Championship has grown into a flagship motorsports platform for TVS Apache riders, combining structured learning, competitive racing, and immersive track experiences.
In 2025, the championship expanded to the international stage with TVS ARE GP events in Nepal, Mexico, and Colombia, alongside 17 cities across India, collectively engaging more than 1,000 Apache riders worldwide.
