We are excited to announce the introduction of the highly successful 944 Spec class into the 944 Cup race series including a West Chapter with the inaugural race taking place at Thunderhill in March.

The 944 Cup features both year-end regional and national championships. Beginning in 2016, the series will include championships for each of the three existing PCA 944 classes: SP1 (944 Spec), SP2, and SP3. All NASA 944 Spec cars are eligible to race in SP1. For more details on the series, see www.44cup.com/home .

Now a part of the PCA club rcae program, the 944 Cup expanded their popular National Championship format to also include a Western States national championship races. Having two national championship races will make them more accessible to drivers across the country. They represent the crown jewels 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. www.44cup.com/nationals-16
