I started watching the IRL in 2002 when Team Penske defected from CART. This was to be the last year that some of the established IRL teams had a chance, as 2003 would see the arrival of the juggernaut Andretti Green and Target Chip Ganassi teams, sponsored by Honda, and the bar was raised, effectively destroying Tony George's original stated intent of an affordable American series with American drivers.

IRL 2002 Car Set

The Season 2002 IRL carset features my selection from the most regular teams and drivers for the 2002 season, complete with car, cockpit, driver helmets, pit-crews, pit-boxes, tyres and team art. Because of the nature of Grand Prix 3, I couldn't feature all the liveries in one carset, so there is an "A" and "B" set for you to pick from. The GP3-2000 carset features both sets of liveries and the same drivers.

Series A

Series B
