Ryan's debut in the series, a number of low scoring races (partly due to a recurring Engine problem) along with a contentious penalty applied at the Donnington meeting meant the eventual champion was Giorgio Mondini

- Championship Position: 1st
Ryan moved abroad, to Switzerland to join Andreas Jenzers' Jenzer Motorsport outfit for the 2003 season, racing in German Formula Renault.
