Career Ladder |
Superleague |
Independent Series |
The 2019 Supercup season is the 12th GPVWC Supercup season. From 2019 onwards, Supercup is no longer the second tier in the GPVWC Career Ladder, as the newly-created Superleague Lights championship was introduced between Supercup and Superleague at the end of 2018. While Supercup itself remained largely unchanged, the quest to fill the brand-new, more technically-orientated championship saw a great migration of teams from Supercup, and even Formula Challenge, directly into the Superleague Lights for the start of 2019.
One noticeable change for 2019 was the shift of race days; Supercup rounds now take place on Tuesdays, instead of the traditional Wednesdays.
Contents
Teams and drivers
Team changes
- Scuderia Basilea, Green Stripes Racing and YTF1 were promoted to the Superleague.
- Scuderia Clay Geeli, Cosmo Seiki Japan, Draig Racing and Holland Racing Team were promoted to the newly-created second-tier championship, the Superleague Lights.
- Deltec Racing Team and THUnderdog did not continue in the Career Ladder into 2019.

- Frami Autosport, Fusion Racing, Team Rookie Monsters, Rowen GP and TCS Off Racing all made their Career Ladder debuts in 2019.
Returning entries
- Former Supercup champions Torrent Motorsports returned to the series, having been promoted from Formula Challenge. Torrent last competed in Supercup in their championship-winning year, 2012.
