It would be more accurate to say Le Mans is as protected as the FIA feels it should be, which is to say not very. Like a lot of the top-level sport, the money comes first and the tradition/heritage/etc. can take a back seat. The longer this F1 malaise drags on the more it resembles "The Emperor's New Clothes"*.
*Please accept my humblest apologies for giving you the mental image of a naked Bernie Ecclestone...
