New look for local hope Fullwood 

Darwin local Bryce Fullwood will tackle his home race with a new look for the annual Supercars Indigenous Round.

The usually pink #14 Brad Jones Racing Chevrolet Camaro is now black with Indigenous artwork jumping out around the scheme.

The striking livery was hand-created by community programs within the Mungabareena Aboriginal Corporation (MAC) and depicts symbolism of family, community, and the local region.

Fullwood was born and bred in Darwin and will be racing atHidden Valley Raceway for a fifth year and sixth event.

The highlight was last year where he hit the top 10 on home turf for the first time.

Fullwood did it with an impressive fifth place which proved to be his equal best finish of the 2023 season.

The #14 then backed it up with a P8 and P11 on the Sunday.

These happy memories on and off the track at home means Fullwood returns with plenty of confidence.

“Darwin is obviously a very special race for me, being my home event but combining it with Indigenous Round – there’s just a bit of extra meaning,” he said. 

“The design holds so much sentiment for me, Middy’s and the team so I’m excited to be able to have this livery in Darwin.

“I’ll have a lot of my family there and the team’s from BJR and Middy’s are so family orientated that this livery is representative of all of that. 

“It’s a proud moment for me to be able to carry this artwork from the Mungabareena Aboriginal Corporation this year and I can’t wait to get racing.”

Mungabareena Aboriginal Corporation representative Carl Tunstall said family is a big focus behind the Fullwood livery.

“We were approached by BJR to collaborate on the Indigenous Round liveries for a second time and we jumped onboard having seen the benefits from last year,” he said.

“It’s given our working groups the opportunity to showcase their artwork skills and connect back to country and culture.

“This artwork is centered around family and was designed by our men’s group.  Family is hugely significant in Aboriginal culture.

“The hands across the livery also support family values whereby traditional methods, crafts and artworks are handed down from generation to generation.”
