It seems that debate is happening right now, and it doesn't seem like IMSA is willing to back down.

IMSA can do math. Very few IMSA teams want to go to Le Mans and those that do, can rent. On the other hand IMSA needs to please its corporate partners to run the races actually in its championship, and IMSA really doesn't want ACO determining its performance levels.

I am thinking the likely upshot is that IMSA teams will have to re-adjust their motors to compete at Le Mans ... those that don't already run or rent Euro-spec cars.
