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.

2021-01-01 - Extra Fuel Capacity

Q.
My question is if you have a vehicle with 11 gallon stock tank and you put a 18gal fuel cell in the car what would the penalty be for the extra fuel ?
Looking at building a new car but the stock tank is 11 gallon and wanting to add a fuel cell to get in the fuel range as most the other competitors.

A.
You can NOT add fuel capacity.  It would be an immediate disqualification or move to the EC class.

You could run our EC class as the fuel capacity is not regulated for EC.
