I think that this may very well be a reaction to Massa's accident on the part of the ACO and IMSA, though with sportscars, such an incident is very unlikely. But then again, Porsche protested Ferrari on simiar gounds at Le Mans and won...

Seems a pretty clear cut case of the ACO wanting to add drag to the cars in order to slow them down, nothing more.
