ChampCar Tech Desk

Official channel for ChampCar technical questions, interpretations, and VPI requests.

Before you submit a ticket

The Tech Desk is for rules clarifications and technical questions. It is not a post race tech line, a place to protest results, or a place to fish for how other teams built their cars.

Most questions can be answered by reviewing the current BCCR Rulebook. Please read the applicable section before submitting a ticket.

If your question is already covered clearly in the BCCR, your ticket may simply be answered with a reference to the rulebook section.

VPI request checklist

For all Vehicle Performance Index (VPI) requests you must include:

Year, make, model, and trim level
Engine size and engine horsepower
Drive type: FWD, RWD, AWD, or 4x4
Transmission type: automatic or manual
Car weight and all factory options that affect performance
A link to the vehicle on automobile-catalog.com or another site with full specifications if it is not listed there

Requests that do not include all required info and research will be denied without review.

2020-03-20 - Aftermarket Front Bumper Cover

Q.
Can I install an aftermarket bumper cover on my car?

Example: Aftermarket non-M style e46 cover

And here is the exact fit BMW cover

A.
The bumper cover must look like an original equipment bumper cover or it has a point valve as an aftermarket non-OE bumper cover. If it is a copy of an OE cover then it is free of points.
Fiberglass covers are always points.
