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.

Include the link to the automobile catalog so we can quickly reference the data. If your car is not listed on that website, please link any website that has the info. If you do not include your research info above, your request will be denied.

Q.
I would like to know the point value for Droop limiters.

Cable, chain, strap etc used to limit the suspension extension and keep the spring in place.

A.
Most teams that are running cars without captured springs that are using non OEM hardware or components to hold the spring in place are using this rule:

4.7.5. Hardware, fasteners, and materials used to attach things to
other things (nuts, bolts, screws, rivets, duct tape, bailing
wire, zip ties, JB Weld, etc.) are open.
