As the main event of the comprehensive motorsport festival 'Inje Masters Series', which began in 2023, 'Inje Durability', which will mark its third season next year, will be held in a total of five rounds starting with the opening game on March 30 until October. In addition to the four rounds of the existing Inje Masters series, one round will be added to the 'Inje International Motor Festival' scheduled for July to make its international debut.
A new top class will be newly established in the existing five classes (INGT1, INGT2, INGT2N, INGT2N Evo, and INGT3) and will be operated in a total of six classes. The new class will be mainly composed of high-performance race cars such as supercars, and is expected to attract the interest of participants as well as audiences.
Inje Durable, which succeeded in a three-hour endurance race for the first time this season, will change its standard from time to distance from next year. Each round will be driven from 300km to 600km, which will be longer than the existing method. In particular, the 600km race in the final match is about twice the straight distance between Seoul and Busan, so it is expected that good performance can be expected only when the race car's performance, the athlete's physical strength, concentration, and the team's strategies and tactics are combined well in extreme situations. In the summer, it also plans to feature a night race that runs on the track from day to night.
Lee Seung-woo, CEO of Inje Speedium, said "In the 2025 season, high-performance classes were newly established, creating an opportunity for the growth of the game quality and international competitions."We are also preparing for cooperation with famous Asian endurance races so that Inje Durability can become a bridgehead for domestic athletes to advance to international competitions in the future."
