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.

2023-06-08 - Headlights

Q:
Hello, I have a single light bar that I've used for any champcar race that has the possibility of being dark. The new rules state I need (2) headlights for my car in the chance of adverse weather. Will utilizing tape in the middle of the light bar satisfy this requirement at tech or will I need to purchase 2 seperate light bars? (The car's stock headlights are long gone)

A:
Two headlights mean they must be fed from two sources - IE separate wires - to satisfy the new requirement.  Tape in the middle of a large single light bar does not meet this requirement.
