A win would be a welcome boost to Fabian Coulthard's career.
Kiwi racer Fabian Coulthard feels he has as good a chance as any at securing a career-defining win and standing on the top step of the Bathurst 1000 podium on Sunday evening.
The 36-year-old has a hard luck Bathurst story or two like just about everybody in the Supercars field
but feels he is in a position to secure what would be a win that would turn around an otherwise disappointing year to date.
The Shell V-Power Ford racer lies sixth in the championship standings and is all but out of the title running now but he has some recent success at the mountain that suggests he should be considered a genuine victory chance.
Coulthard and co-driver Tony D'Alberto finished third at the Great Race last season and boast plenty of experience. Coulthard has finished fourth and fifth in the race in previous seasons as well while he secured fastest times in qualifying in recent years as well.
"You have to have an element of luck - you make your own luck as well - but you have to have a good strategy," Coulthard told the Herald on Sunday. "You need to get through the first part of the race unscathed and get to that last hour because that is where the race really begins.
