Graham Hayward aka G-Hazy Gaming​

at 50 years old may be the first person ever to complete 400 laps of the Nurburgring 24 Hour Layout in one session as a solo driver. In honor of Men's Mental Awareness Month, starting on May 22, 2026 and ending on May 24, 2026, he streamed Gran Turismo 7 on Youtube for over 60 hours and came in with a final race time of 50:01:40.739 in a 837 HP Nissan GT-R Nismo GT500 '16. With over 50 hours of race time in a 60 hour period, this means he averaged 10 minutes of break time per hour to grab food and use the restroom. I have not seen the whole stream, but it is available on his Youtube channel in the Live tab. I think his longest break was between the two 200 lap segments of around 10 to 15 minutes.

This was done against Sophy AI set at difficulty level 7 Professional, in two segments of 200 laps each due to the game having a lap limit limitation. There was even an issue that appears to be a steering wheel disconnection on the final lap of the challenge.

This appears to be his 2nd attempt, with a first failed attempt being Thanksgiving of 2025.


When I asked him why, he simply replied that he "wanted to be the first person to do it" ... "maybe raise the bar and challenge the world". As for another attempt of this in the future? "Never again."

As a disclaimer, I'm no medical professional, but I don't encourage marathon racing for over 2 days straight alone, as I believe staying awake for that long could be dangerous to ones' health. I do believe this challenge deserves some recognition. In a short informal interview today, G-Hazy told me that he slept for 8 hours and then after being awake for only a short period of time slept for another 8 hours afterward. He appears to be doing well and was racing online only 2 days after this marathon. I don't know G-Hazy, I only first met him on May 24th when I was one of only 26 people to catch the final 2 hours of his race.
