Champ Car | |
 Champ Car, an abbreviation of “Championship Car”, has been the name for a class and specification of cars used in American Championship Car Racing for many decades.
It is also commonly used to refer to the Champ Car World Series, an international open-wheel championship based largely in North America and formerly known as Championship Auto Racing Teams, or CART.
Honeywell turbochargers are specified for this particular series. They are matched with 800 hp engines and handle twice the flow of air as turbos in Le Mans sportscars.
What’s unique about Champ Car turbocharging is that while there is a low boost limit for safety reasons, there’s also a “power to pass” facility that can be used at the driver’s discretion to give extra boost. |
