Triple Eight uncovers stunning Indigenous Round look

Triple Eight Race Engineering will look to continue its recent Darwin dominance with a new-look Indigenous Round livery at this weekend's betr Darwin Triple Crown.

Red Bull Ampol Racing, which leads the drivers' and teams' championship heading to this weekend's event, has won three of the last four Supercars races in Darwin.

Broc Feeney, who leads teammate Will Brown by 72 points, won the second race in 2023, and took out both races last June.

Triple Eight unveiled its Darwin look with a Sunrise TV reveal and photoshoot on the Hidden Valley Raceway grid on Thursday morning.

The artwork was created by Clontarf Foundation Taminmin College Year 12 student, Christopher Brumby.

Featuring vibrant dot painting, the special design captures the harmony between people, animals, and the land. Flowing blue dots represent creeks and waterholes, precious sources of life and knowledge.

Red dots signify the warmth of the earth, and the deep spiritual connections shared amongst all living beings across generations. Central to the artwork are a crocodile and a barramundi, symbolising ancient elders – the guardians of wisdom, tradition, and the natural world.

The pathways weaving between waterholes reflect how people and animals walk together, guided by the stories and teachings of Country.

The design proudly reflects the Northern Territory’s rich cultural landscapes and the importance of unity, respect, and knowledge-sharing, both on and off the track.

The artwork was created as part of the school’s Indigenous art program, which is in conjunction with the Clontarf Foundation, supporting young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men with education, life skills, and employment initiatives. It partners with Ampol, co-naming rights partner of Red Bull Ampol Racing.

Track action commences in Darwin on Friday.
