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.
If I have a shock/strut that is adjustable (either by height or dampening)
If we make the shocks non-adjustable by for example removing the adjuster or welding the stock shock collar to the height-adjustable body will it still be 0-Points?
A.
Once a shock is built to be adjustable (rebound and/or compression) it will always incur points as an adjustable shock at 25 points per corner.
