Someone should contact a US vendor and Company 23(to make the tool) and release this as a package.

How are the race teams combating this via tuning?

10 days before the race the team realized they had a common problem these cars tend to have - after racing for longer periods the direct injector seals detoriate as the stock ECU map is quite harsh in its first revisions. The only option was to quickly get a race spec ecu map from Swiss GT86 team.
Now the team is ready, passed some practice runs and two qualifying runs! In the morning another qualification run and then the race starts and goes till Sunday!
