Fabian Coulthard (born July 28, 1982 in Burnley, England) is a professional race car driver and cousin to Formula One Driver David Coulthard.
Starting in Karts in 1990, he worked his way to the New Zealand Formula Ford Championship in 2000, winning the title in 2001. From there he moved to a part season in the British Formula Renault Championship in 2002, with a full season following in 2003, as well as a few one off drives in Germany. After struggling with a low budget in Europe, Coulthard moved to Australia and the Australian Carrera Cup Championship in 2004. After winning the championship the following year, a guest drive in the Porsche Supercup was part of the reward.
During the Carrera Cup season Coulthard was picked up as a co-driver in the longer V8 Supercar races with Team Kiwi Racing and Tasman Motorsport, before being signed to a third of a full-time drive with Paul Morris Motorsport in 2006, rotating in the teams second car with Alan Gurr and Steve Ellery. He became the teams full-time #2 driver in 2007 but was replaced by Owen Kelly in October. Coulthard has since joined Paul Cruikshank Racing for 2008, taking over from the retiring John Bowe.
