GT3 needs to be dropped and GT4 needs to take it's place.

Stop charging for T&S and make it a basic service. That way every team is equal and can use their brain for strategy.

Agreed re: GT3. Costs have become ridiculous, even just to buy a car. I'd say that if GTE was used in as many championships as GT3 is, Porsche would be able to sell the RSR for roughly current GT3 prices rather than €900,000 advertised last year. (Mr. Hedlund will probably tell me I'm delusional.
)
I was going to disagree with replacing GT3 with GT4 in WSC. The speed differential seems just too big between GT4 cars and what are effectively (pace-wise) first-gen Audi R18s. But at Sebring in 2003, the Bentleys were doing 1:48s in qually, many of the GT2 Porsches and Ferraris were doing 2:09/2:10. GT4 pole at the weekend was 2:11. So it's plausible.
Also, teams have to pay for timing? Is this standard practise in other championships?
