Seriously, no oh-s**t handles in this car? I guess the door grab area (underneath the door opener pull straps) will have to do. That's what I usually use when instructing. But maybe with LWBs this will be a non-issue!
In my RS I tell passengers to grab the O Sh.. handle and left hand holds under the seat. Keeps them from bouncing into me as I throw the car around. No idea about the GT4.
This is what I'm afraid of. The door flying open around a turn. Because the passenger pulled what looks like a grab handle but turn out to be the door handle.

Here's what worked for my wife.
First, she didn't hold on to the fabric door-pull, but the solid handle below it (in front of the door box, rear/below the window switches). Second, she adjusted her seat forward so that her feet were against the forward footwell with her legs almost fully extended (slight bend, not full extension).
After that she just used her legs to push herself against the footwell and back into the seat while holding on with her right arm when going around corners. She said she felt far more stable with her feet in that position rather than just flat on the ground, and didn't feel like she needed an "oh sh!7" handle.

That's exactly what I do when riding shotgun at the track.
