The 2022 Merlin Darwin Triple Crown round of the Repco Supercars Championship is gearing up to become the first official Indigenous round of the Championship.

The round will pay respect to the Larrakia people which will include supercars liveries featuring Indigenous artwork.

Multiple Australian superbike teams have also incorporated Aboriginal artwork into their motorcycle decals or rider suits.

The Darwin Triple Crown trophy has been recreated as a traditional shield by Larrakia artist Trent Lee who also designed the logo for the Indigenous round, shirts worn by officials and a car wrap.

Mr Lee said the purpose of the shield was as opposed to a trophy was a deliberate decision on his part.

"I see that as obviously being a protector, obviously a shield protects you when you're in battle," he said.

"I used some old Larrakia designs from older archives.

"I still make a lot of our traditional tools and stuff like that and we're still hunting, so everything that I make is able to be used as what it was intended for."

Incorporating Indigenous art and creatives in all sporting tournaments is something Lee said he is hoping to see.

"I believe it's really important to showcase Indigenous art...especially in all sporting tournaments because it obviously puts us out there and gets people curious and gets people thinking," he said.

"It also gives the avenue for the younger generation when they see their family's artwork on a car or wherever it is even at any other sporting events, it can give them pride you know.

"They might want to eventually get into either racing a car or whatever sporting things they want to get into."

Lee's own inspiration for the car wrap came from the Kapok tree.

"It symbolises the change of season and what I drew on there was the outer parts of the pods," Lee said.

"It's obviously got that white, fluffy stuff and so when that comes out that was just my inspiration to symbolise the change of the season and when Supercars are up here that's when its in season.

"The tree is very important, you can eat the flowers, take up the bark and make string from the bark and they use the actual wood as fire sticks."

Three team members from Racing Together, an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander motorsport program, will attend the Merlin Darwin Triple Crown with the driver racing in the combined sedans category.

The competition will take place on the weekend of June 17th to 19th at Hidden Valley.
