Motorsport season 2002 FIA Sportscar Championship 2001 2003 The 2002 FIA Sportscar Championship was the second season of the FIA Sportscar Championship, an auto racing series regulated by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile and organized by the International Racing Series Ltd. It was the sixth season of the series dating back to the International Sports Racing Series of 1997. The series featured sports prototypes in two categories, SR1 and SR2, and awarded championships for drivers, teams, and manufacturers in each respective category. The series began on 7 April 2002 and ended on 22 September 2002 after six races held in Europe. The SR1 championships were won by Jan Lammers' Racing for Holland outfit, with Lammers sharing the drivers' championship with Val Hillebrand and securing Dome their first title outside Japan. Italian Lucchini Engineering earned the SR2 titles for their own team and chassis; Mirko Savoldi and Pierguiseppe Peroni won the drivers championship for the team. thumb|right|250px|Jan Lammers (pictured in 2011), co-champion in the SR1 category Schedule Although initially planned to match the length of the 2001 calendar at eight events, the 2002 calendar for the championship was shortened following several cancellations mid-season. The 1000 km endurance race at Monza was dropped in the initial calendar, meaning all races were set to a limit of 2 hours and 30 minutes. Barcelona, Spa, Brno, Magny-Cours, and the Nürburgring were all retained from 2001, while Imola, Rockingham, and Autódromo do Estoril were all scheduled to debut in the series. Later cancellations of the Imola and Rockingham rounds were replaced by a new event at Dijon, while the Nürburgring event was also canceled as the season progressed. The end of the event at Rockingham made this the only season of the championship not to feature an event held in the United Kingdom.
