Interesting perspective. I would love to know how much money is spent yearly on record attacks at the 'Ring (and I wonder why there seems to always be some sort of financial crisis). It is funny, you would think that GT3 success is the least marketable, yet it always seems like when the soaring bird crashes, the rebuilding always starts with the core of recognizable GT based cars.
