Will Brown produced a consistent and determined weekend at Hidden Valley, bringing Car #888 home inside the top five in all three races of the 2026 Darwin Triple Crown. Brown opened the weekend with fifth place in Friday’s sprint before charging from 11th on the grid to another fifth on Saturday. He saved his best result for Sunday, converting sixth on the grid into fourth place and narrowly missing the podium — a strong weekend of recovery and racecraft on the fast, demanding Darwin circuit.

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 #888’s 2026 Indigenous Round.
