About This Product:
The 2023 Darwin Triple Crown at Hidden Valley was the official indigenous round of the Supercars championship for the second year running.
Every car raced at the event featured an Indigenous-themed livery or artwork, produced by various indigenous artists with different stories behind their works.
Various teams and drivers have embraced indigenous artwork on their cars or helmets in the past years for the Darwin round but this was the second time the category as a whole came together in an effort to recognise First Nations people after a successful debut as an official theme in 2022.
The end result was simply stunning once again. The variety of colours and artworks beautifully weaved into the racing schemes of each team was a true sight to behold and made for an exceptional weekend of Supercars racing.
Like many other teams, Coca-Cola Racing by Erebus elected to run their indigenous liveries at both the Darwin round and the following Townsville 500 round in the top end of Australia.
Featuring a livery created by 22-year-old Gunditjmara and Tiwi Islander Kiewa Austin-Rioli, the background of the design pays tribute to her Tiwi Islander heritage while also representing the strength and unity of the team. The artwork and colour combination of red, black and white with updated Coke Zero Sugar branding worked incredibly well for the two events.
For Will Brown, the livery perhaps became even more special when he raced his #9 Camaro to win in Townsville, taking out the 16th race of the championship for 2023. It would prove to be his 4th and final win in 2023 and with Erebus, in a successful final year with the team.
This 1:18 scale model is scheduled to be produced in high quality die-cast with opening parts which includes the bonnet and both the driver and passenger doors.
A highly detailed racing cockpit can be seen through the molded clear glasshouse, or by opening the doors to examine the interior further. Under the bonnet includes a detailed 5.7-litre Chevrolet Racing LTR V8 and engine bay surround. Underneath the model, the undercarriage details the unique Gen3 floorpan.
Comprised of roughly 205 individual metal and plastic parts, with anywhere between 100-200 steps in paint and decoration finishing, including tampo printing where possible, photo etched parts including the bonnet pints, brake rotors and more, this is a high quality, detailed collectors model.
It is scheduled to be produced in an exclusive, one-off limited edition with an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity presented in its own, Authentic Collectables branded protective cardboard folder.
