It looks fantastic, looks good with the orange #88 on it as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t wait to go racing in it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Triple Eight teammate Will Brown is looking to snap a dry spell, having not won a Supercars race since Queensland Raceway in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Brown heaped praise on the students who designed the livery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow good does it look! I love the design. The Clontarf Academy kids have done an awesome job with it \u2014 it just popped as soon as the covers came off. It looks so good,\u201d said Brown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese liveries change so much every year. It\u2019s cool to see the design and know what inspired it, why it is what it is, and how they got it to look as good as it does on the Supercar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s so different to our standard livery, and it\u2019s cool that we have partners who support us doing things like this for the students, the community and Indigenous Round.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s definitely a special round on the calendar. Excited to see it roll out of the garage on Friday and hit the track.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The team\u2019s workwear will also feature the Indigenous Round design across shirts and caps, which can be purchased.<\/p>\n<p>About the artwork (as described by Triple Eight Race Engineering)<\/p>\n<p>At the heart of the striking design is a visual representation of the Hidden Valley, Darwin racetrack, which draws similarities to the Darkinjung people\u2019s whale totem \u2014 a sacred creature representing strength, guidance and resilience.<\/p>\n<p>The whale totem serves as an anchor, connecting the land and water, and guiding people toward the Supercars Indigenous Round event.<\/p>\n<p>Native animal tracks and human figures fan out across the design, surrounded by vibrant rivers representing the lifeblood of the land and the pathways linking communities across Australia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Triple Eight&#8217;s Indigenous Round livery.
