Endurance Gauntlet

Racers of Knockout Performance Racing League, buckle up for the toughest test of 2025 so far on Gran Turismo 7! The Knockout Endurance Gauntlet storms into March with four grueling races that’ll demand every ounce of your skill, strategy, and nerve. We’re tackling epic circuits in Gr.3 beasts, and with random weather thrown in—rain or shine, even the host won’t know what’s coming—it’s anyone’s game. This is endurance racing at its rawest, where only the sharpest survive.

March 3: 24 Heures du Mans Racing Circuit (Full Course) – 1.5 Hours

A relentless maze that’ll test your focus, whatever the weather.

March 17: Tokyo Expressway (East Clockwise) – 1.5 Hours
Urban warfare on slick streets or dry asphalt—adapt or crash.

March 24: Nürburgring Nordschleife – 2 Hours
The Green Hell closes it out with a 2-hour epic—weather’s the wild card.
