The 1939 Grand Prix season was the seventh AIACR European Championship season. The championship winner was never officially announced by the AIACR due to the outbreak of World War II. Although Hermann Paul Müller would have won the championship on points, the president of Germany's highest motorsports organisation declared Hermann Lang the champion.[1]
