PremiAir Racing has proudly unveiled its 2026 Indigenous liveries ahead of next weekend’s Darwin Triple Crown, with the striking designs to feature across both the Darwin and Townsville Supercars rounds as part of the team’s recognition and celebration of NAIDOC Week and Indigenous culture.
The #31 and #777 PremiAir Racing Camaros of Jayden Ojeda and Declan Fraser will carry the bespoke artwork created by emerging Indigenous artist Telisa “Tilly”.
The livery centres around Tilly’s deep connection to the ocean and her fascination with sharks, combining themes of strength, adaptability, instinct, and movement through a design that transforms the PremiAir Racing Camaros into powerful representations of life beneath the surface.
Tilly, a 15-year-old student at Worawa Aboriginal College, is from the Arrernte and Mparntwe (Alice Springs) language groups and currently lives in Grannmilla, Darwin.
An emerging artist with a passion for sketching, photography, and marine biology, Tilly said her fascination with sharks and the ocean became the inspiration behind the design.
“I love that sharks are an apex predator that shows strength, protection and sharp instincts,” Tilly said.
“The shark has held wisdom about the ocean and has survived in it for thousands of years because it is adaptable and fearless.
“The lines around the shark represent the ocean, its home. The ocean has strong currents which have power and strength in their own way.
“The shark and ocean work together, both connecting and providing for each other.
“The movement of a Supercar on the race track reminds me of a shark swimming through the ocean together they exist and move in strength, power and speed.”
PremiAir Racing Team Owner, Peter Xiberras, said the team was honored to showcase Tilly’s work across both Darwin and Townsville during an important period of cultural recognition and celebration.
“We are proud to carry Tilly’s artwork on our Camaros for both Darwin and Townsville,” Xiberras said.
“This design immediately stood out because of the energy and movement within it, but also because of the deeper meaning behind the artwork and the connection to strength, resilience, instinct, and adaptability.
“Tilly has created something that not only looks spectacular on the race cars, but also tells a meaningful story through her culture, creativity, and personal passions.
“It is important to us as a team that we continue recognising and celebrating Indigenous culture through the Supercars Indigenous Round and NAIDOC Week, and we are very proud to be able to showcase Tilly’s work across both events.”
The decision to continue carrying the liveries through Townsville aligns with the conclusion of NAIDOC Week 2026 celebrations, allowing the team to further acknowledge and celebrate Indigenous culture on one of the championship’s biggest stages.
The liveries will make their on-track debut at Hidden Valley Raceway next weekend before returning for the Townsville 500 in July.
The Darwin Triple Crown will be held at Hidden Valley Raceway across June 19-21, with the Townsville 500 to follow across July 10-12.
