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.

2021-11-06 - Foam and Tape

Q.

Is there a limit to how much foam and tape can be used for zero points?


A.

Foam - Only fire rated foam may be used to seal bulkheads and areas against fluid or vapor intrusion for no point add. If used to shape or support aero or body parts it will be figured at + sq ft plastic material points.
Note : only fire rated foam should be used on a race car.
Tape - Rule states fasteners, duct tape, ect can be used to attach. Making something out of these materials is not attaching, so making something will be + sq ft plastic material points.
