"But you can't be too disgruntled by it all - it's just part of the deal... It can't go your way every weekend and this weekend didn't go our way. We've got to regroup and get whatever we can learn from this and take it on to Darwin."
Coulthard now sits 13th in the championship as a result of his race two and three misfortunes, but is still well and truly in touch with the top ten runners. The annual trek to the 'top end' is next on the Glenfords Racing calendar, with round six of the championship taking place at Darwin's Hidden Valley Raceway over 4-6 July.
"The opening race was a strong run and, although we dropped a few positions in the pit-stop, we still came home well inside the top ten," team principal Paul Cruickshank noted.
"We started eighth in the second race, but the set of tyres we had on were shocking and we just went backwards until we did our pit-stop and then we went forwards again. In race three, we had an engine drama - and we never have engine dramas, so that was a bit surprising and not a great end to the weekend.
"We were on target to finish eighth or ninth in the round again, and it wasn't to be, but one good round will have us back in the top ten again. The speed is there, and the issues we had this weekend are all workable, so we've just got to get it done for the next round."
