### Calendar changes

Rallye de Portugal was dropped from the calendar after a disastrous running of the event in 2001 due to heavy rain which was heavily criticized by drivers such as Marcus Grönholm, Colin McRae and Richard Burns. It was replaced by Rallye Deutschland which had an impressive candidate Rally in 2001 won by Philippe Bugalski after main rival Marcus Gronholm received a puncture and spun multiple times.
The Tour de Corse was moved to be earlier in the season while Rally New Zealand was moved later to be back to back with Rally Australia while the Cyprus Rally and Rally Argentina swapped places.
FIA President Max Mosley had stated that Japan and India had been two candidates to join the World Rally Championship but neither materialized for the 2002 season. Japan would create Rally Hokkaido for the 2002 Asia-Pacific Rally Championship which would join the WRC as Rally Japan in 2004 while India would likewise create Rally India in Mumbai for the 2003 APRC season although this would fail to join the WRC.
