Cam Waters will carry themes inspired from his hometown, and himself, on his Monster Energy Mustang in Darwin next weekend.
Next weekend’s betr Darwin Triple Crown doubles as Supercars’ official Indigenous Round.
All cars will carry Indigenous artwork and designs at the June 16-18 round at Hidden Valley Raceway.
Jedess Hudson designed the artwork for the Monster Ford, as well as the liveries for the James Courtney and Declan Fraser cars.
Hudson’s work for the Waters Ford is inspired by the driver’s connection to his rural hometown Mildura, and the driver himself.
She has drawn upon Waters’ connection to the region and the Aboriginal spirituality associated with the land.
The livery showcases the interconnection between all elements of the earth.
Additionally, the artwork showcases the fluidity, power and ever-changing nature of water — mirroring the fast-paced nature of motorsport.
“Water also holds deep cultural and spiritual meaning for many Indigenous peoples,” Hudson explained.
“It represents life, purity, and regeneration.
“By incorporating the element of water into the artwork, the team is paying tribute to the region and Traditional Owners of the land.”
Waters won the second race of the 2022 round at Hidden Valley, and finished third in the finale.
Tickford CEO and Team Principal Tim Edwards added: “We believe in the power of sport to bring people together and celebrate diversity.
“Through the liveries we are taking to Darwin on each of our cars, we aim to foster greater understanding and appreciation for the culture and history of Australia’s First Nations.”
Tickford will reveal its final Indigenous livery, for the Castrol Mustang of Thomas Randle, in the coming days.
