The tradition of Manufacturers' Cups starts with the 944 Turbo Cup - and with a new idea from Porsche: vehicles approaching production status and equipped with the regulated three-way catalytic converter participate in races using lead-free gasoline. This approach lends itself to testing a variety of ideas - including anti-lock braking systems. The producers of the cars benefit immensely from these racing experiences.
