from the new gt3 "The cylinder cases are made of a light alloy featuring aluminum, with Nikasil®-coated liners. For improved efficiency, including better fuel economy, the engine's compression ratio was raised to 12.0:1."

I guess those aluminium nikasil liners were not strong enough so they put in steel ones wich is against the rules, the parts must remain original
I would agree with this, if, what we have heard is true and they have changed out the liners without, before hand, getting a waiver or re-homologating the engine with the new part(s).
