You'll see just enough changes in the new class to call it something else other than GT3. But the entire premise is to take over something that has worked without the FIA.ACO controlling it.
No, the problem with GT3 right now is that costs (for purchasing the cars, spare parts, engine rebuilds etc.) have been escalating over the last few years and the bubble may soon burst when privateers find that running the cars is too expensive for them. Early GT3 cars were selling for the equivalent of 170-ish thousand Euros, right now they are at least twice as expensive.
