Technical Advisory Committee Burningham 2,141 Posted January 14 Technical Advisory Committee Report Share Posted January 14 I signed us up for this race today! Looking forward to driving at this course again, but the rest of the driver lineup has not been there before so we decided this would be our bucketlist track for the year. Seems like the time was right since the championship is there. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

55mini 747 Posted Sunday at 09:32 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 09:32 PM Thanks for posting this Bill. I do have a question as to the minimum number of races rule, did that change and if so what was decided? Thought maybe that should be told to the member's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Imagine that; a trend? Miatae and BMW are underrepresented in the top 10 based on a percentage of participation, none the less, statistically the team and prep variance is so great that it would likely be a flawed analysis to assume that miata and some other platform teams are from the same population as the rest of Champcar. I think the methodology that should be used is a combination of the theoretical performance and case-study like performance of what good teams with good drivers are able to do with the platform.

Snorman 2,815 Posted Tuesday at 07:22 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 07:22 PM Can somebody explain at least somewhat officially how this works for the National Championship? Specifically, I'm trying to understand what this means: Quote 1.5.3. Bring the same car you raced to qualify for the Championship So the car can't be touched from the 2020 ruleset and has to sit exactly as it did in 2020? Or, if the car is compliant with 2021 and built to the revised ruleset, is it considered the "same car"? If something was points in 2020, and is not points in 2021, and it's added to the car for 2021, does it now have to be removed just for this one race? To me, and just IMO, the "same car" means the same car that was raced and is now compliant with the 2021 ruleset. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To me, and just IMO, the "same car" means the same car that was raced and is now compliant with the 2021 ruleset. For the Charlotte Championship we brought a new car that was basically the same from what we qualified with the prior year (we did add an air dam) and Mike had to have a talk with us about it because 1 or more teams were questioning our eligibility. Mike eventually said we were OK after a couple of hours of deliberations. I know this doesn’t answer your question, just giving you an example of what happened with us. It’s a huge gray area that needs clarification IMO. Edited Tuesday at 09:59 PM by Ronh911 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wvumtnbkr 7,215 Posted Wednesday at 12:30 AM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 12:30 AM It's my understanding that the championship is run under the previous years rules minus any safety related changes. If something was a lower value the year before, you claim that lower value. If it was higher, you claim the higher value. Yes, some builds require backdating a bit to get to the previous years rules. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's sort of what I understand, but not certain. And not clear how they are going to tech cars. Are National Championship contenders going to re-tech at RA according to 2020 rules if they have a 2021 Tech sticker? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Racer28173 1,681 Posted yesterday at 01:54 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 01:54 AM (edited) I read it the same way @Snorman indicated in his last paragraph. To me it is saying it needs to be the same physical chassis you ran the year before. But it would be to the 2021 rules because it is now 2021 and if you did another of the April races your car would be to 2021 rules already and it would be crazy to ask you to change it back. I assumed the intention was to prevent a new build replacing a car that qualified, and that is why Ron got questioned.
