Tom Sutherland is a semi-professional driver whose rating of 3,863 places him at the competitive amateur to semi-professional threshold; this is the level of drivers who win in pro-am and one-make classes and run mid-pack among full professionals. His racing record consists of a single season in 2006, when he completed six rounds of the Star Mazda Championship for Northwest Autosport without securing a win or podium finish. He averaged a 12th-place finish across his classified starts.[1]
Sutherland's competitive context shows a field of emerging professionals; his most frequent rivals included Adrian Carrio, the 2006 Star Mazda champion, and Kevin LaCroix and Ryan Justice, both rated in the low 4,100s. Against Carrio he finished ahead once in six meetings but trailed him five times, a result consistent with racing against a champion in a series he did not dominate. He had a stronger head-to-head record against John Pew, an FIA Silver-graded driver, finishing ahead of him in all six shared races. In isolated instances he also beat stronger drivers such as Christopher Cumming and Mark Wilkins, though these were single results rather than patterns across multiple meetings.
Sutherland drove for Racers Edge Motorsports in four of his six starts. The team, which has fielded 19 drivers across the index with a win tally of six, proved a reasonable fit for his level; his most prominent teammate appearances placed him in fields with established professionals and national-level competitors. His 2006 season marked both the beginning and end of his racing career, and no further activity appears on record.
