Wraps on track cars?

Wraps on track cars?
Was considering getting a full wrap in satin black along with a partial clear bra for track use on a GT3RS but was wondering how it would hold up as a track car?
With the hot temperatures, road rash, hot rubber so on how does the wrap hold up over time?
Can I use the same cleaning agents I am using now to clean the car after track days and not worry about hurting the wrap?
Thank you

Yes, in our experience the film holds up much better than painted surfaces would without protection in terms of cleaning up from track days. You wouldn't want to use any chemicals you wouldn't put on your paint surface, aside from that it can be treated just like paint!

To be a tad blunt, it is a no-brainer. All of our race cars are wrapped, replacements and repairs are done as needed (as long as the driver stays on the track and doesn't make contact, then it'll last a long time). The real benefit is that it is so much easier (and speedier) to care for when something does go wrong.
The wraps on our cars have been surprisingly durable in my opinion (as someone who personally dabbles in vintage racing, I was pretty skeptical about wrapping at first).
If you come out to the LongBeachGP, I can show you in person which vinyl-wrapped panels have taken a beating and which have been re-wrapped.

There is a ton of colors to choose from that I know, not sure if they can color match though but you can probably get really close. They can show you swatches to choose from.

White is tough. Porsche Carrera white has a lot of Yellow in it, this gives it that warm color. The films I've worked with tend to have a lot of blue which makes the color cooler. If we were discussing LED lights you would say the Porsche Carrera White has a lower color temperature than films. I know specifically the 3M 1080 white is not a match.

Ok so if I were to go for my 2nd choice - Mexico Blue or Riviera Blue - would a wrap be able to match those codes?

For my race cars, I do exactly the same, except my base layer is clear.
