Coulthard's Supercars hopes take hit

With his DJR Team Penske Falcon on its roof, Fabian Coulthard's Supercars championship hopes have also been upended by a big accident in New Zealand.

Coulthard risked a pass on championship rival Chaz Mostert when the Ford star was attempting to redress with Holden's David Reynolds late in Saturday's opening race at Pukekohe Park Raceway.

Reynolds and Coulthard collided, sending Reynolds into a tyre bundle and leaving Coulthard walking away from an upturned car.

Coulthard slipped from second on the championship standings, and just 17 points behind leader Jamie Whincup, to third and 137 points off the pace after the incident.
