2002 Speedway Grand Prix Qualification

The 2002 Speedway Grand Prix Qualification or GP Challenge was a series of motorcycle speedway meetings used to determine the 12 riders that would qualify for the 2002 Speedway Grand Prix to join the other 10 riders that finished in the leading positions from the 2001 Speedway Grand Prix.

The format changed significantly, in that only 6 riders would qualify through the GP Challenge. The other six places would go to riders seeded through - Rune Holta, Matej Ferjan, Andreas Jonsson, Grzegorz Walasek, Sebastian Ułamek and Krzysztof Cegielski.

Greg Hancock won the GP Challenge.
