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.

2020-08-17 - Harness Expiration Example

Q.
Can you confirm that these SFI labeled belts are good through the end of 2020.
Year of mfg = 2016 + 4 years = expires Dec 31 2020
SFI Harness Tag

A.
SFI safety certifications last 2 years after the stamped or punched date.
If you so choose you can evaluate your belts and if you determine their condition to be safe you may use the belts and additional two years. Tech may at anytime deny the use of any safety component.

The belt certification tag shown in your attached photo would allow you to use the belts until the end of 2020 if they are in working condition.
