Steve Sutcliffe
Title: Editor-at-large
Autocar's finest driver and most experienced road tester, ‘Sutters’ was also editor of this fine title between 2003-2004. Finished second in his first ever race driving a Caterham, then did three seasons as a works driver in the ferocious TVR Tuscan Challenge before a dalliance in the BTCC with Lexus. Also drove Honda's F1 car and set competitive times at Silverstone. Now lives in Hove and says he "likes cars, and likes other people who like cars".
