Motorsport: Kiwi Supercars star Fabian Coulthard departs Dick Johnson Racing

Kiwi Supercars driver Fabian Coulthard is on the hunt for a new team, with Dick Johnson Racing confirming they will go with a brand-new driver line up for 2021. 

The announcement comes days after it was confirmed that both Team Penske and three-time champion Scott McLaughlin would be departing - the latter having confirmed a move to IndyCar on a full-time basis.

Coulthard has been part of the team for five years and has won eight races since signing from Brad Jones Racing for the 2016 season, and often had to play second-fiddle to Kiwi McLaughlin. 

The 38-year-old has contested every Supercars campaign since debuting for Paul Cruickshank Racing back in 2008.

While Coulthard's future is up in the air, he's expected to join fellow Kiwi Andre Heimgartner at Kelly Racing next season. 

"It has been an absolute honour to race for two of the greatest icons in motorsport - Roger Penske & Dick Johnson," Coulthard wrote on his Instagram page. 

"I'm so proud to have had the opportunity to have multiple race wins and stand on the podium on their behalf. A duo as great might never be seen again.

"Scott has been one of the best teammates I've ever had. He's challenged me, beaten me, lost to me and taught me so much that I couldn't learn from anyone else. 

"I'm looking forward to watching all his successes in the future. Whilst I have had one heck of a time, I will not be driving at DJR full-time in 2021.

"It's been one incredible journey and the privilege will never be lost on me.

"I'm thankful to our partners who have so generously been a part of this journey both on the team and my personal behalf. I've always been surrounded by workmates who've become friends, and always will be.

"Whilst I'm not sure what is next on the cards for 2021, I've received incredible support from other drivers, teams, family, friends, and fans.

"Thank you so much. It's YOU that helps more than you realise and makes this time a little easier.

"Whilst I'm still away from home, spending time with Bec and the kids has been a good time to reflect, relax and take in all we achieved together at DJRTP, and what might be on the horizon for me and my little family."

DJR haven't announced their new driver line-up but Anton De Pasquale and Will Davison are expected to spearhead the team next season.
