I think when Maserati started building the MC-12, they thought it would be legal.... but rule changes didn't go the way they were hoping.

Main problems are in overall dimensions - width and front/rear overhangs.... something that can't be fixed overnight, so FIA GT have allowed dispensation to run in the 2005 FIA GT series, but ACO have taken a more strict approach. In the end it's their series and they can decide whether to allow a dispensation or not.
