Steven Richards is an Australian-based racing driver who competed in the Supercars Championship during the 2019 season. His record across five starts for IRWIN Racing yielded no wins or podium finishes, with an average finishing position of thirteenth. He raced primarily against a field of professional and graded drivers including multiple FIA Platinum-rated competitors, finishing consistently in the lower half of the grid during his championship tenure.[1]
Richards showed occasional capability against stronger competition, notably finishing ahead of several drivers rated significantly higher than his own standing of 3,314. He outfinished cameron Waters, a front-running professional driver, on two occasions, and managed single results ahead of Brodie Kostecki (a Gold-graded champion), Alexander Rossi (a Platinum-graded professional), and Shane Van Gisbergen (a Platinum-graded two-time champion). However, these isolated successes against elite opposition did not translate into consistent performance; he was heavily outpointed by Craig Lowndes and Garth Tander, both Platinum-graded drivers, in their respective head-to-head records across the season.[2]
His 2019 campaign represented his recorded racing activity at championship level. The record shows retirement since that season, though recent headlines reference subsequent involvement in historic and developmental racing projects, including mentor roles and exploration of wildcard entries.
