Steve Sutcliffe (born in 1968) is a former British motor racing driver who now works as a motoring journalist. His first serious racing took place in 1993 in the Caterham K Series Championship, where he finished the season second in points. In 1998 he raced in the TVR Tuscan Challenge, finishing eighth. He finished fourth in the 1999 season, and sixth in 2000 with two poles and three race wins.
In 2001 he got a drive in the British Touring Car Championship, replacing Thomas Erdos for the final two races at Brands Hatch, in a Lexus IS200 for ABG Motorsport/Total Motorsport. He finished 9th on the road (8th in class) in Race 1 and retired from Race 2 but he was a guest driver and thus was ineligible for points. He was due to drive for Total Motorsport full-time in the 2002 BTCC with Richard Dean as his team-mate but nothing came of this. (https://www.crash.net/btcc/news/7090/1/two-lexus-for-2002-btcc)
