Windscreens

Most of us know the F1 roadcars are fitted with a winscreen that is laminated with a very fine gold film to act as a heating element and also serve as a reflector against heat ingress.
My question is that owing to the frequency of windscreen breakages during GT racing were the GTR's fitted with a standard F1 screen or did they use a plain laminated windscreen similar to that used in the majority of cars.
I ask this as the frequency of replacing the specialised road car version would be a great drain on the teams finances.
Saying that I believe a door shell costs about £24,000 to replace anyway.
:crying:

I believe it was a different type to that of the roadcar - I have a scan of a magazine article on repairing an F1 GTR windscreen -

Here is an interesting article on the road car windscreen (pdf) (http://www.mclarenautomotive.com/community/features/1999-04McLarenF1-Screen%20Test.pdf)

Aye! Great! How many real-world owners are going to take their F1 out on a cold, icy and frosty morning? ;)

All GTR,s use the heated windscreen, as there is no fan blown air, for screen demist.

just made me wonder as seen as they do not seem to have the same oily colouration/tint that the road cars windscreens posess.
