Official channel for ChampCar technical questions, interpretations, and VPI requests.
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.
For all Vehicle Performance Index (VPI) requests you must include:
Requests that do not include all required info and research will be denied without review.
Q.
How many points is an additional roll cage tube?
A.
It is 1 point per 2 linear foot, rounded up. Changed 4-30-24 by TECH.
Example:
Measuring the tube if you have 6 feet of extra tubing outside the allowance, it will be 3 points added to your VPI total.
If you have 6-feet, 5" of extra tubing, it will be 4 points. 6'-1" is 4 points, and 6'-11" is 4 points.
Tube diameter does not matter.
