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.

2022-01-31 - Ignition System Points Clarification

Q:
Reading the BCCR has revealed the following point adders:
• Distributor, non-OE, or aftermarket ignition system: 20 pts
• Ignition coil(s), aftermarket: 10 pts

Does “Distributor, non-OE , or aftermarket ignition system” include coil(s), if any?

Would the Coils have to be considered separately from the “ignition system” mentioned above?

Does qty 8 coils count as “Ignition coil(s), aftermarket” and therefore only 10pts or are they 10pts each and thus 80pts?

 


A:
Distributor, non-OE, or aftermarket ignition SYSTEM = 20 points - Tells me coils are included.
Coil(s) - Tells me however many = 10 points.

If you claim a 20 point ignition system you get the coils.
