Celebrating Culture, Creativity and the Next Generation at the Darwin Triple Crown
A striking new limited-edition livery will take to the track at the upcoming TransAm round at the Darwin Triple Crown, honouring Indigenous culture and celebrating the power of community collaboration and youth creativity.
Commissioned for the Elliot Barbour Racing team, the livery was created in partnership with Mungabareena Aboriginal Corporation (MAC), a proud Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation based in Albury-Wodonga. Through a collaboration with the Stars Foundation and students from the James Fallon High School program, more than 20 original artworks were developed by young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, inspired by this year’s NAIDOC theme and reflecting the spirit of “The Next Generation.”
The final livery tells a powerful visual story — red dots symbolise meeting places and paths of connection, while flowing blue patterns represent the rivers that have long shaped and sustained communities in the region.
Elliot Barbour, driver of the EB75 AlphaTheta TransAm car, said:
“To race with this livery on the national stage is incredibly special. The stories these young artists have told through their work are deeply meaningful. It’s an honour to carry their creativity and culture with us to Darwin — and hopefully inspire others in the process.”
Phil Muffet, CEO and Managing Director of Jands, added:
“At Jands, we’re passionate about championing creativity and supporting the next generation of Australian talent. This project brings together culture, storytelling, and motorsport in a truly unique way. We’re proud to support a platform that gives voice to these remarkable young women and their community.”
This unique initiative celebrates culture, connection and opportunity, and highlights the incredible creative talent of young First Nations women, brought to life on one of Australia’s most exciting motorsport stages.
