Too bad organizers can't use that excuse to prevent "homologation specials" from racing. It'd make for a very Montypythonesque conversation:
Organizer: So, this is the car you want to race, yes? It's a prototype, right?
Manufacturer: No, we want to race it as a GT.
Org: But it looks like a race car.
Man: We're building 25 road going models. So it's a road car.
Org: Then why does it look like a race car?
Man (starting to lose patience): It looks like a race car because we want race it.
Org: Aha! So it IS a race car!
Man (less patient): No, it's homologated as a road car!
Org: Then if it's a road car why must you race it?
Man (no patience left): Look, we just want to run the car in your bloody race! We did everything by the book like you demand! We weren't expecting this Spanish Inquisition!
