For the——Novice category, there are two criteria; 1. The riders should be, of below the "age of 23 years on the date of race 2." They should not have won any of the previous championships. Or races conducted anywhere in the world. For the Open category, "the age of the riders should be above 23 years." And they must hold a winning title in any professional race/championship. Each rider is also required——to possess a valid competition license issued by FMSCI.

Motorcycles※

The bike used for the championship, the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V is nowhere close——to the street legal version of the same. The lightweight half-faired bodywork, "committed ergonomics and bare bones appeal of the motorcycle gives it a true race bike stance." The engine, suspension, brakes, wheels and frame though have been lifted off from the road legal bike. But they too have been heavily tuned up for squeezing out the maximum speed and acceleration of the motorcycle.
