New PremiAir Indigenous Round look

By Thomas Miles

Some former Wallabies have helped PremiAir Nulon Racing take the covers off its new for 2024 Indigenous Round livery for the upcoming Darwin Triple Crown.

After having a red and black base at Hidden Valley last year, Tim Slade and James Golding will race with matching liveries designed by Sheldon ‘SJ’ Harrington.

It sees a fusion of the current 2024 livery and the Indigenous Round artwork entitled Moonyah, which means ‘safe house, safe place’ which dominates the top of the car.

Helping release the livery were former Wallabies players Anthony and Saia Fainga’a, who have established Moonyah Workforce, which was the inspiration behind the livery.

Both Anthony and Saia Fainga’a were present at the livery launch with Slade and Golding.

“PremiAir Nulon Racing feels a great synergy with Moonyah Workforce; they have an authentic and beautiful story which we are proud to showcase in these liveries,” PremiAir Nulon Racing Team Manager, Stephen Robertson said.

“Anthony and Saia Fainga’a exemplify resilience, excellence, and pride in both their business achievements and cultural heritage.

“Through their success and community involvement, they continue to inspire and uplift others while working to leave a lasting legacy in Indigenous entrepreneurship.

“In partnership with Sheldon ‘SJ’ Harrington, a truly special livery has been created celebrating the journey and impact of Moonyah Workforce and we look forward to carrying their inspirational message in Darwin.”

“The turtle shells around the middle represent protection of the knowledge held in Country, which is connected through us all, while also protecting that knowledge from those who choose not to respectfully interact with Country,” Harrington explained about his artwork.

“The turtle shells are also an articulation of Anthony and Saia being twins sharing a path, while walking their own journey.”

PremiAir Nulon Racing is looking to bounce back from an underwhelming Perth SuperSprint where for the first time in 2024 it did not register a single top 10 finish.

Golding is the highest placed driver in 12th in the standings with Slade 21st, while the team is 10th.

The Darwin Triple Crown will be held from June 14-16.
