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.

2022-12-31 - Sway bar spacers

Q.
So in order to run the Front anti-roll bar with a <engine swap>, You are required to space the sway bar down and forward. The <engine swap> kit includes some brackets, as well as hardware and aluminum blocks that stiffen the mount. Would we be allowed to run these at no additional point cost?
I also take the 20 points for an aftermarket front sway bar, if they are not considered part of the necessary swap hardware, could they be considered as part of the anti-roll bar hardware?

A.
The mounts are not included in the swap. 
As long as you are paying the 20 points for the aftermarket sway bar you get the links and necessary mounts to make it work.
