In March 2015, it was announced that Lines would make his British Touring Car Championship debut with Houseman Racing driving a Toyota Avensis.
Lines was part of the first ever front-wheel drive winning team of the 750 Motor Club Birkett Relay in 2018. Cupra Racing formed a team of Seat Cupra TCR cars piloted by Carl Swift, Shayne Deegan, Lee Deegan and Stewart Lines and won the event by just half a second, beating Sports Prototype teams.
In 2017, Lines entered into Britcar in a SEAT León TCR. He drove in two rounds of the season as an invitation entry. Tom Walker and Oliver Taylor drove the car as a points-eligible entry at Oulton Park in round six. In 2018, Lines entered the Dunlop Endurance Championship in a Maximum Motorsport-run SEAT Cupra TCR, in Class 4, with fellow BTCC-driver Adam Morgan and later Mat Jackson. For the 2019 season, Lines entered the Dunlop Endurance Championship with Ollie Taylor for Maximum Motorsport in a SEAT León TCR TCR, again running in Class 4.

His team also competes in the aforementioned championships and the Britcar Endurance Championship with TCR-spec cars, in which they were in contention for the 2019 title, winning the Class 4 title.
