Apaches at Chennai
A report of the second round of the 2017 TVS One Make Championship
The TVS ApAche One
Make Championship gives an opportunity for young racers to showcase their skills on the racetrack. The championship comprises two categories: Open and Novice. Both these categories include two races on race-tuned TVS Apache RTR 200 bikes.
The bike used for the championship, the TVS Apache RTR 200, is nowhere close to the street-legal version of the same.
