A poor qualifying run, a late race penalty and a championship lead all but evaporating - Saturday was a day to forget for Supercars star Fabian Coulthard.
The DJR Team Penske driver began the day 91 points ahead in the championship race and hoping to take a jump on his title rivals.
He ends it holding on by 37-points from six-time driver's champion Jamie Whincup after a 19th-place finish in a rain-marred 94-lap race at the Surfers Paradise street circuit.
Coulthard's points haul would have been better had he not fallen down the grid due to a 15-second penalty for an incident late in the race with Holden's Nick Percat.
