Default 991 GT3 PDK vs GT4 PDK running cost

Looking to buy a track focused Porsche…

How much is there a difference in running costs of GT3 vs GT4? PDK only.

I am looking at brake discs and pads prices and there is not much difference. What about other parts and service intervals?

Thanks

Two additional things I'd consider:
Tire costs - what tires would you run on each and how do they compare in cost/longevity. Biggest line item for maintenance on track usage in my experience
Centerlocks - how do you feel about the centerlocks? They were an annoyance for sure when I moved from GT4 to GT3. Not a cost thing really but another factor to at least consider

Difference in tyres for Cup2 is 200$ per set.

How did it feel to go from GT4 to GT3 ? What was the biggest difference and factor for a change?

You need to also look how long specific items last. As the GT3 is much faster than a GT4, you will go thru brakes, Tires, wheel bearings, gas and every other wear part more quickly. Speed costs money.

I made the change back in the 981 days because I finally admitted that PDK is far, far better for the track.
