The Supercup was a West German auto racing series created by the ADAC in 1986 as a replacement for the Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft (DRM).
The series used Group C category sports prototypes identical to the ones used in the World Sportscar Championship, yet running nearly exclusively within West Germany.
[1] The series was initially sponsored by sport auto magazine during its inaugural season,[2] then replaced by Würth the following two years.
These short distances meant that unlike the endurance races seen in the World Championship, Supercup teams would not be required to change drivers during the course of an event.
Joest Racing won three championships, with the factory Porsche team winning during their sole year of competition.
