Stephen South (born 19th February, 1952 in Harrow, Middlesex) is a British former racing driver best known for his appearances in Formula One.

Formula One

South made his Formula One debut in 1977 for the Penthouse British Formula One Racing Team at the British Grand Prix. He failed to prequalify but he saw fit to return for three more races later in the season with Hesketh - once again failing to make the main sessions. In 1978 South returned with Hesketh, and again in In 1979 with BFORT but failed to pre-qualify for any Grands Prix.

South's fortunes changed ahead of the 1980 season when he was offered (and accepted) a full-time drive for B&S Fabrications for two seasons. Though many in the Formula One paddock were sceptical of the team's prospects before the season started, the new chassis and turbo engine finally gave South the opportunity to qualify for races.
