The 944 Cup is a grassroots motorsports road racing racing series dedicated to the front engine water cooled Porsche 944. The race series was created as a standalone series and continues to be operated as such within numerous sanctioning bodies. The series was founded by the current National Director, Dave Derecola, and his son Chris Derecola, who continue to own and operate the series. The series currently races primarily within the Porsche Club of America under the direction of the National Director.
