Sutcliffe Replaces erdos at Brands.
Motorsports journalist and TVR Tuscan racer Stephen Sutcliffe will drive the Lexus IS200 at the BTCC finale at Brands Hatch on October 7.
He will be driving instead of the team's regular driver, Thomas Erdos, in the Touring class, which is backed by Autocar, for whom Sutcliffe writes. He had been promised a one-off drive alongside Erdos, in the team's second car, but delays in building the car has forced them to abandon the plan. However with no Championship at stake, Erdos has agreed to step aside. Just what we need, another rookie on track at a crucial stage in the championships! |

What a bloody joke.is this sutcliffe 'journalist' guy any good in TVR's.what is this guy gonna give to the team for 2 races.this is how bad sponsors are treating motorsport now,its a game man.
i know,i'll give u a bit of sponsorship for your car only if u let my journalist drive it for a round and write a story for my magazine. sorry if u think im a bit over the top but i dont like the way the series is getting treated,or things that are happening in it at the moment.this wouldnt of happened few years ago.

Sutcliffe has performed well in TVRs in the past - I think he has even taken race wins. However, I don't think he has had that much track time this year - will be interesting to see how he goes.

Steve has done well in Tuscans and if can drive a Tuscan well, a BTCC car could be easier to drive in comparison. I really hope he does well and has a great race.

It is a bit of a joke though. John B-And-Q is bad enough, you may notice how the BBC always miss off his name when they run through the grid now? But the BTCC is being turned into a comedy backwater championship made up largely of enthusiasts, unknowns, journeymen and pensioners

There are some good signs, but a championship with Lexus, MG, Proton and Peugeot as te main challengers, and none of Europe's top drivers, a curious rule book, and a few dinky toy type cars, will not be what we want. I just hope some of the top drivers stay this year, all the series top 10 bar Kurt Luby look likely for next year.

A mass murderer now driving in the form of Sutcliffe,
£10 says he wrecks the car. |
