Darwin named official Indigenous Round host of Supercars Championship

In a first for the event, and the sport, the Merlin Darwin Triple Crown was the official Indigenous Round of the 2022 Supercars Championship.

Territory Larrakia artist Trent Lee created artwork inspired by the shape of the Hidden Valley track. It represents the Larrakia land, sea and people and was the centrepiece of the Darwin Indigenous Round.

The artwork represents how sport brings people from all walks of life together. The snake is a track with the head placed at the hairpin bend, the most dangerous part, the clapsticks represent different teams and the eggs symbolise all the people coming together to enjoy and celebrate the event.  It will be available for use by the Supercars teams moving forward.

This week (3-10 July) is NAIDOC week! What a great opportunity for us to look back at the incredible Aboriginal artwork that featured as a part of the inaugural Indigenous Round of the Supercars Championship, right here in Darwin. All cars at the 2022 Merlin Darwin Triple Crown carried Indigenous-themed liveries, each with different stories behind the artworks, to celebrate First Nations people and pay homage to the Larrakia people on whose land the event was held. Some of the bikes, Porsche and drag cars got involved too! Seeing them on the grid together was a pretty special moment.

How stunning is this year’s Merlin Darwin Triple Crown Shield? Designed by local Larrakia artist Trent Lee, the bands on this beautiful trophy represent freshwater and saltwater. The shield also features a cross, which signifies all the Larrakia people, and the concentric circles symbolise Star Dreaming, which belongs to Trent’s sister. 12 didgeridoos have also been handcrafted by local artists to be handed out to the Supercars Kings of the Hidden Valley track (including @antondepasquale, @willdavison__ and @svg97 yesterday)! Designs range from different types of animals and birds – including crocodiles (Danggalaba), fish, long-necked turtles and snakes – to depictions of ancestral spirits and songlines.
How wonderful are this year’s Indigenous liveries 😍 We’ve really loved seeing them on track this weekend!
