It's a way to recognise the FIA GT Championship and boost the GT classes in Europe, specifically GT1.
GT1 and GT2 play a supporting role in the LMS so it's important to recognize the teams that choose FIA GT's.
Altough PWL were treated harshly, they were competing in an ACO sanctioned series, all cars should have been running to full ACO regs if they expected Le Mans entries.
FIA GT has always had slight reg differences, the MC12 is unique being homologated soley for FIA GT's.
The ACO obviously decided to award Le Mans entries to FIA GT teams, regardless of specific FIA GT regs.
