No idea if it is the case, but could it be that FIA are wanting changes to the spec?
Edit, just read Joe's post. FIA can withdraw papers any time, if they have the desire and enough reason to do so. It's happened in the last year for another marque and model.....

MIke - that is exactly as I understand it. No International history in period and now just too quick. Other cars only had domestic races in period and have been failed to get papers, so this could just be a regularisation of the situation. Not sure what has been the catalyst though?????
