OK, I’m not too sure of this (besides, the other two are unofficial, anyway), but here I go.

First Triple Crown: 24 Hours of Le Mans, Rolex 24 at Daytona, 12 Hours of Sebring.

Second Triple Crown: 12 Hours of Bathurst, 24 Hours of Nurburgring, Total 24 Hours of Spa.

Third Triple Crown: Petit Le Mans, ?, ? (your call on that. Maybe 1000-km races?)

There’s also going to be a Junior Big Four: idlers 12-hour, 12 Hours at The Point, Charge of The Headlight Brigade, 25 Hours of Thunderhill

I believe there already is a racing triple crown. It’s Indy 500, 24 Hours of Le Mans, and Monaco Grand Prix.

I’m looking to form a different Triple Crown, specifically for GT Racing.

I don’t think it should be exclusive to endurance races. And this is coming from a fan of endurance racing.

Tier one: The established Triple Crown of Endurance Racing. Works well.

Tier two: Nurburgring 24, Spa 24, Petit Le Mans
Petit is more established than Bathurst and at one point nearly over took Daytona on the triple crown because of the ACO relevance.

Tier three: Bathurst 12, Macau GT Cup, Gulf 12 Hour.
Tier three is esentially the Winter Crown of GT Racing.

Ok so I only included one sprint race...

Maybe replace the Gulf 12 Hour with a 1000 km event, or the GT race at Long Beach.

If it’s a triple crown for GT3 class cars I would nominate the 24 Hours of Daytona, 24 hours of Nurburgring, and Spa 24 hours.

If it was for GTE cars then you could switch out Spa and Nurburgring and have Daytona, Sebring, and Le Mans.

Unless you’re Ferrari, Porsche, Aston Martin, or Corvette and can theoretically field cars in Both GTE and GT3 then it could be Daytona, Le Mans, and Spa/Nurburgring.

If a racing game can hit that many multiplayer cars, I’ll be impressed.
