It does help that Fuji, who requested that the FIA allow the very late change, is owned by Toyota for whom Alonso just so happens to be driving for.

And by doing so they've managed to alienate an awful lot of sportscar and endurance drivers who would otherwise have been doing Petit Le Mans that weekend. Drivers with contracts to do that.
But hey, PLM is an IMSA race, so they can go hang, right?
This I think the FIA have got very wrong.
