ChampCar Tech Desk

The tech desk is used to ask technical questions and is not to be used as a post race tech line or to phish for how others built their cars. Please reference the BCCR as most questions submitted to the TechDesk can be answered by reading the BCCR. You can download the BCCR here: https://champcar.org/web/rules.php
VPI requests require the year, make, model, trim level, engine size, engine HP, Drive type (FWD, RWD, AWD, 4x4), auto or manual transmission, car weight, and all options.

Air Dam - 10 points

Tech interpretation and enforcement is any non-oem vertical aero component is an air dam.  See Photo for Example.
Jay Mauney - Chief Tech Director

 

Q2.
Is this 1.5" piece of garden edging the same 10 points as 15" piece of plastic or aluminum that wraps around the entire front of a Miata?

A2. 
Yes, any non-oe horizontal component added to the front facia of a car is considered an aero component and the addition of that component is charged 10 points. Tech may charge additional material cost if the component covers an area beyond the parameters of a standard air dam.
