Personal stories form Tickford Indigenous liveries

Tickford Racing have unveiled a striking set of Indigenous liveries ahead of the betr Darwin Triple Crown.

The team have paired with Indigenous artist Joshua James, who has produced works that tells the stories of drivers Cam Waters and Thomas Randle both in and out of Supercars.

James, who created the team’s Indigenous liveries in 2025, is a proud Noongar Wardandi, Bibulmun Maaman from Noongar Boodja in the Southwest of Western Australia, and now lives in Victoria working as a full-time artist.

Waters' iconic Monster Mustang tells the story of his career as well as his recent transition into fatherhood, featuring a Karda (Racehorse Goanna) as well as a campsite representing a moodtju mort (Strong Family).

Waters, partner Brooke, and daughter Mila are all represented as symbols around the campsite.

Randle's Castrol Mustang takes on a striking white look in Darwin, with his livery symbolising his determination to succeed in Supercars, as well as his connection to friends, family, and fans.

Both cars also feature message stick symbols, signalling the connection between driver and team.

Artist James explains: "Working with the Tickford Racing Team has been something that I think both sides have really enjoyed, the collaboration has been powerful and meaningful.

"Both of this year's designs have a significant impact on both individual drivers and the team. I personally am a motorsport enthusiast, so to have my artwork featured on two Ford Mustangs for a second year is something that's moorditj (amazing).

"I have previously lived in Darwin for a few years so I have a connection to this place after living on Larrakia country. Larrakia people are saltwater people just like Noongar Wardandi people so I feel a special connection here and to be present in Darwin with the team this weekend which makes it more special.

"The entire Tickford team have welcomed me with open arms and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with them and the drivers to create these designs in collaboration with story telling with a personalised connection to the drivers themselves."

Tickford CEO Simon Brookhouse added: "We are really proud to once again partner with Joshua and his incredible artwork, which strongly connects the drivers, the team and his culture in the liveries.

"The Darwin round is important for the team and the sport to connect with the artists and allow for the amazing storytelling abilities that come through the artwork.

"Both cars look incredible and we cannot wait to roll them through town this afternoon and have them on display for all the wonderful fans here in Darwin."

Cars hit the track tomorrow in Darwin, with the first race kicking off at 5:00pm local time/5:30pm AEST.
