Yes, a standard GT3 won't last long on the Ring, suspension, dampers, etc, all need reinforcement if you wanna keep running and play a role upfront. With the GT3s becoming more expensive I doubt an extra floor (or two in case of damage) will be a deal breaker especially for pseudo factory teams like WRT, Phoenix, Marc VDS, Schubert, Black Falcon, Rowe, Manthey, etc.
Maybe Mike Hedlund can give us a little inside on the costs (on a Ferrari 458 at least)? Thx.
