Riders aspiring to participate in the Women's category will test their ability on a race-spec TVS Apache RTR 200 4V, while those in the Rookie category will do so astride the 'track-only' TVS Apache RR 200. The Rookie category can be seen as a perfect platform to nurture young motorsport talent in India, which is open to young riders between 11 and 18 years.
The top 20 riders from each category will be selected from each city based on their best lap timings, physical fitness, and racing abilities. The final round of selection will take place in Chennai at Madras Motor Race Track (MMRT) in the month of May, 2022. The Bengaluru selection round will be held at Aruani Grid in Vemana Road.
