Broc Feeney arrived at Hidden Valley as the Supercars Championship leader, carrying a 90-point advantage and returning to a circuit where he had swept all three races the previous year. The 2026 Darwin Triple Crown proved a much tougher challenge. After finishing 14th in Friday’s sprint, Feeney fought back across the weekend, qualifying inside the top ten for both longer races and bringing Car #88 home seventh on Saturday and fifth on Sunday. Despite the difficult opening race, he left Darwin still leading the championship.

The #88 Mustang also carried one of Triple Eight’s most meaningful liveries of the season for Supercars’ official Indigenous Round. At the heart of the artwork was the Darwin racetrack, representing the Darkinjung people’s deep connection to their whale totem — a sacred creature symbolising strength, guidance and resilience. The whale anchored the design, connecting land and water while guiding the journey north towards Darwin.

Across the car, tracks traced the Supercars Championship’s journey around Australia, while vibrant rivers represented the lifeblood of the land and the pathways connecting communities. Kangaroo, emu and possum tracks honoured native animals that have travelled these lands for generations. Race-used at Hidden Valley, this panel carries a physical piece of that artwork and the story of Car #88’s 2026 Indigenous Round.
