Walkinshaw TWG Racing reveals Mostert Darwin livery

Walkinshaw TWG Racing has lifted the covers off the Indigenous Round colours that reigning champion Chaz Mostert will carry at the betr Darwin Triple Crown.

Mostert's #1 Mobil 1 Optus Racing Toyota will sport artwork by Monica Taylor, a Badimia Yamatji woman from Mount Magnet, located near the Western Desert in Western Australia.

She has lived in Darwin for the past 38 years and works as an Indigenous Educator at Gray Primary School. She is a grandmother to 17 children who mostly reside in the Northern Territory.

Taylor's artwork 'The Gwiyarl' is centred on Walkinshaw TWG Racing’s core values of family, trust and loyalty to each other, with the Australian Goanna key to the livery.

“Being asked to create this artwork for the Walkinshaw family last year was a real honour, not just for myself and my artwork but for my whole family," Taylor said.

“I have 16 grandchildren and for them to be able to see their Nanna’s artwork racing around the country again gives them inspiration and shows them that they can achieve anything they put their mind to.

“Showcasing Indigenous art alongside cultural knowledge through the Indigenous Round for the V8s shows a place of acceptance for all of us and I am proud to have designed artwork for such a great company like Walkinshaw TWG Racing whose values align with mine around family, acceptance and knowledge sharing.”

Mostert added: “The Mobil 1 Optus Toyota GR Supra looks incredible. I haven’t seen it in person yet, so I can’t wait to get to the track in Darwin to see it up close. Monica and everyone involved have done an amazing job bringing this design to life.

“A huge thank you to Monica, the team and our partners, especially Mobil 1 and Optus, for their support throughout this journey.

“We will be doing everything we can to be as fast as the Goanna this weekend and put on a great show for the fans.”

Mostert sits 10th in the championship, with track action commencing on Friday June 19.
