Darwin, NORTHERN TERRITORY | Tickford Racing is today excited to release its two Indigenous liveries for the upcoming Darwin Triple Crown round of the Supercars Championship.

‍

In collaboration with Indigenous artist Joshua James, the artwork produced speaks to the stories of the drivers and their journey inside and outside of the sport.

‍

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. He now resides in Victoria as a full-time artist creating pieces that communicate the stories and connection to the land of his culture.

‍

Both #6 Monster Energy and #55 Castrol Racing Ford Mustangs will feature unique liveries created by James which will be on full display for this afternoon’s Track to Town before track action starts on Friday.

‍

The two liveries are an extension of the 12-month partnership that James and Tickford have fostered, displaying the journeys of the drivers throughout their careers within the artwork.

‍

For Waters, the design incorporates various symbols telling a story about his racing career combined with his personal life away from the track.

‍

Featured within the design is the Karda known as Racehorse Goanna, symbolising the speed of the sport. Additionally, included is a feature held close to Cam, a strong campsite which represents a moorditj moort (Strong Family). The campsite includes three symbols: one is Cam while the other is his partner Brooke and the third symbol is their daughter Mila.

‍

Randle’s livery demonstrates his strong desire for success in the Supercars industry, as well as symbols of many people which signify his connection to his family and racing fans.

‍

Included within the design is the unique Shield, showcasing that continued strength, desire, commitment, dedication and determination to have success behind the wheel of the #55 Castrol Racing Mustang.

‍

Across both liveries, the message sticks symbols are included to demonstrate the connection between driver and team.

‍

Back at the workshop in Campbellfield, we are also proud to display artwork that was designed with the whole team in focus. James created a team piece representing the 50-plus staff that make up the Tickford Racing organisation.

‍

The connection of everyone under the Tickford Racing banner was a key piece heading into the Darwin round. It was important to represent the work that all the staff put into the team preparing the six cars which will race across the Supercars Championship and Dunlop Series this weekend.

‍

You can find more of James and his work via his Website, as well as his social pages on LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram.

‍

The cars will debut at Hidden Valley at 10:05 ACST on Friday for Practice 1, kicking off a big Triple Crown weekend in Darwin.

‍

Tickford Racing CEO Simon Brookhouse said

‍

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.

‍

Artist Joshua James said

‍

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.
