2002 FIA GT Championship

The 2002 FIA GT Championship was the sixth season of the FIA GT Championship, an auto racing series regulated by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) and organized by the Stéphane Ratel Organisation (SRO). The races featured grand touring cars divided into two categories and awarded championships and cups for drivers and teams in each category. The season commenced on 21 April 2002 and concluded on 20 October 2002 with ten races held through Europe.
Christophe Bouchut won his second consecutive GT Drivers' Championship by a single point over Larbre Compétition-Chereau teammate David Terrien. Larbre also secured the team championship, beating Lister Storm Racing The N-GT Cup was won by Porsche driver Stéphane Ortelli after he won seven races, while his Freisinger Motorsport squad earned the teams title.
Schedule.
The FIA GT Championship retained its partnership with Eurosport and the European Touring Car Championship, sharing their schedule and race weekends under the "Super Racing Weekend" moniker, now with sponsorship from LG Corporation. The ETCC also added a support event for the Spa 24 Hours for the first time, instead of the FIA GT series running on its own. Several races were however dropped or replaced for 2002, with the schedule shortened to ten rounds from eleven. Monza was replaced by the Autodromo di Pergusa for the Italian round, and Oschersleben became the German round for the first time since 1999, replacing the Nürburgring. Donington Park became the second British round, as it too had been used in 1999. The Hungaroring, Zolder, and A1-Ring were all removed from the calendar, while Anderstorp marked the first Scandinavian event held since Helsinki Thunder in 1997. All events, with exception of Spa, retained their race distance.
