Team TRTCoolDrive Darwin Livery Drops
The Blanchard Racing Team (BRT) has uncovered a striking Supercars Indigenous Round livery for the CoolDrive Racing Ford Mustang, with the “Three Generations” artwork denoting three generations of the Blanchard family. Once again designed by acclaimed Djerait artist Melissa Yaram Tipo, the three saltwater crocodiles together represent the three generations of Blanchard, who have passed knowledge down with each successive generation. Similar to BRT’s 2022 livery, the utilisation of the crocodile represents strength, power and masculinity. The painting is also a celebration of this year’s NAIDOC Theme, ‘For Our Elders’, with the dots around the crocodile motifs representing the generations

THE WORKHORSE Radical Cup Australia will field a 20-strong grid at the opening round of the 2023 season this weekend at Sydney Motorsport Park. Joining the Shannons Trophy Series round at the Sydney circuit, the grid is the largest and arguably the most competitive yet assembled for the category as it enters its second season under the current format. Despite the late start to the season, the field includes a broad mixture of returning names, experienced Radical veterans and young guns looking to progress their careers. “It has been the hardest calendar to piece together, but the reward is such

Mark WalkerBucket List Stuff: Darwin Supercars
There are a lot of great events you should get to before you kick the bucket, and in this part of the world, I reckon that the Darwin Supercars should top your list. You see, of the 12 events that feature on this year’s Supercars schedule, there is a high level of sameness. No matter the venue, the template is copied, pasted, and repeated. But Mark, surely some other events would be chart toppers? What about Bathurst? The 1000 is clearly top-tier, but go to the 12 Hour instead to get an awesome Mount Panorama experience. The Melbourne Grand Prix

The Shannons Nationals, now the Shannons SpeedSeries, has sure come a long way since 2010. Back 13 years ago, the second-tier platform rolled into Winton Raceway with a decidedly more low-key program than that which will greet race fans this weekend. The highlight category on the program was the Commodore Cup, which featured a pair of two-driver 45min mini-enduros, featuring drivers such as Lee Holdsworth, Paul Morris, Steve Owen, Ryan McLeod and more. The V8 Touring Cars turned out one of their best fields to that date for the category, with the schedule filled with a Production Sports Cars enduro,
