DJR Penske driver Fabian Coulthard didn't have the Townsville weekend he had planned, instead it turned out to be a weekend to forget.

After a disastrous race 13, the Kiwi racer got pushed down the order off the start after qualifying 12th for race 14 on Sunday

He was then involved in an early incident, which saw him take a 15sec time penalty at his first stop.

He lost a lap as a result, and then had to push hard from the rear of the field.

He got the lap back, only to lose it again at his second pit stop.

He got to p21 at the end of the race, and continues to sit third in the championship.

“It's been a weekend to forget, that's for sure,” he said. “We tried our hardest to get on top of the car, but we just couldn't manage it.”

“Great weekend for Scott, a dream run. Work to do on our side of the garage, but we'll look to come back stronger at the next race. I've been in far worse positions than this previously, so we'll bounce back.”
