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. After securing two points in Malaysia for SCUM, the team sold William Ponissi to TGM, replacing him with SCUM co-manager Peter Harding.

MaMa Racing

Rookie driver Joe Consiglio, who had started competing in the F3000 competition, was signed for Mama Racing after the Brazilian Grand Prix. This followed the departure of Erdem Coban from the team, which immediately followed the sacking of team mate and fellow countryman Leon Verheggen. It was widely-rumoured that Coban left the team in solidarity after his team mate was sacked for not having attended any race sessions. MaMa Racing manager Luc Lissens then put a high price of £20 million on Coban - almost three times what the driver cost MaMa - to release him from his contract with the team.

In a very public and bitter war of words, Verheggen claimed that he wasn't fired, but that he resigned from the team. In the end, the GPVWC Administration stepped in and settled the matter of contracts and monies owed, refunding MaMa Racing partially and freeing both former drivers from their contracts. Coban went on to join Hernj-Roaldo. MaMa Racing then pulled out of the GPVWC. Canadian outfit Stealth International bought over MaMa's assets, including drivers Joe Consiglio and Brian Bloemendal, re-branding the team as Stealth GP.
