New entries

2002 saw the début of a number of drivers who were to have a lasting presence in the league. William Ponissi made his début in the first race of the season, though he was disqualified from the race. Kieran Ryan made his début in the following race, with Mal McKee's début following that in Brazil and Joe Consiglio in San Marino after that. Cornish driver Mark Wicks was to follow with his début in the second half of the season at Hockenheim. 2002 also saw the début of other notable drivers such as Finn Mikko Jakonen.

Team changes

After the Australian Grand Prix, Mommark, who had just made their début in the Superleague, was taken over by Dan Regan and Peter 'Rabbit' Harding. The team was re-branded as Southern Cross United Motorsports or S.C.U.M for short.

Driver changes

DPI driver Paul Wallace was sacked after round one of the season, and replaced by manager Dan Prescott. Prescott then hired rookie Mal McKee after round two in Malaysia, however the team itself parted company with the GPVWC before round three in Brazil.
