The MC12 is allowed to compete in the ALMS because the ALMS chooses to let it, as is their right. But the car is not ACO compliant/legal and is not homologated with the ACO. That is why when the winning team in the FIA championship is given an auto-invitation to LeMans and they run an MC12 it is not extended to the car.
