PCA Club Racing Press Release

Columbia, MD—
The Porsche Club of America is excited to announce that after 14 years as an independent grassroots motorsports series, and a long association with Porsche Club Racing, the 944 Cup will, in 2016, officially become fully integrated part of the PCA Club Racing program and Dave Derecola, the series founder, will join the PCA Club Racing staff as the 944 Cup National Coordinator.

“We are excited about the blending of the 944 Cup Series with PCA Club Racing” adds Vicki Earnshaw, PCA Club Racing National Chairman. “We want to keep 944 racing exciting and to increase participation at the events on the 944 Cup schedule which will be a benefit for all.”


Dedicated to the front engine water cooled Porsche, the 924S, 944 and 968 models, the 944 Cup Series features both year end Regional and National Championships. Beginning in 2016, the series will include championships for each of the 3 existing PCA 944 spec classes: SP1, SP2, and SP3.


The 944 Cup series will expand to 5 Chapters, North, South, Midwest, Southwest and West, in order to incorporate the entire PCA Club Racing schedule. For 2016 the existing PCA Club Racing Rules for SP1, 2 and 3 will remain in place.


Regional Championships will be determined by competing in PCA Club Races in designated geographic areas with a points based system allowing a driver to be scored in class in the regional standings based on their best 10 finishes throughout the season for the races in that chapter.

New for the 944 Cup Series with be an expansion of the exciting National Championship format. Beginning in 2016, there will be an East AND West Coast National Championship. Having two National Championship races will make the events more accessible to drivers across the country. The National Championship races represent the crown jewel of the series. Every 944 club racer in the country in good standing with PCA Club Racing will be invited to come together for a winner-take-all Championship shootout. Drivers can race in both Nationals regardless of their home chapter and National championships will be awarded to the winners of each class.

“PCA Club Racing is a natural fit for the 944 Cup Series and will ensure the series enjoys many more years of success,” Series Coordinator Dave Derecola remarks. “What better place for the 944 Cup to reside than the Porsche Club of America, featuring one of the best handling and popular models made by the marque and at entry level prices, something Porsche has always been mindful of throughout its history”.
