TVS Racing
Since 1982, TVS Racing, a pioneer in creating Motorsports in India, has been instrumental in growing the racing performance culture and in engineering the TVS Apache series through the company’s “Track to Road” strategy. By emphasizing on race performance, the brand has reinvented the sports market, making it a highly coveted product for sports aficionados. As a result, TVS Apache and TVS NTORQ 125 have become the fastest-growing brands in their respective segments. TVS Racing is also the country’s pioneer of the One Make Championship, having been the first Indian manufacturer to introduce the series in 1994.
TVS Racing hosted the inaugural TVS Asia One Make Championship, being the first Indian manufacturer to do it on a worldwide scale. The TVS Asia OMC RR 310 motorcycle reached a top speed of 211.2 km/h, setting a new record. Vorapong Malahuan wins the Championship overall after winning both races in the last round. Extensive engine modifications enabled the team to improve top speed by 9 km/h over the third round. The motorcycle’s suspension and engine braking strategy were improved further.
