Darwin’s Supercar star unveils special Indigenous livery

Darwin local Bryce Fullwood has unveiled his new-look Camaro ahead of the Supercars Indigenous Round in the Northern Territory.

The cover’s were pulled off the Middy’s Electrical Supercar at the Middy’s Electrical Woolner branch today in front of fans, staff and family.

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

Fullwood’s team, Brad Jones Racing who are based in the Albury/Wodonga area collaborated with MAC and their passionate artists to create the impactful design.

Returning to the Top End for his home round, Fullwood finds himself surrounded by the support of family, the pervasive theme in the design.

Family is a core value for Middy’s, with them being Australia’s largest family-owned and operated independent electrical wholesaler.

They have extended their family to include Fullwood, supporting him for well over a decade, from his humble beginnings in karting to his journey to Supercars racing.

Symbolism across the entire car is representative of the values that are important to keep communities tied closely together.

There is also a proud representation of the beautiful Bungambrawatha region with running blue lines depicting the Murray River.

The #14 Camaro also carries the NAIDOC week emblem, which runs from July 7-14 celebrating the theme ‘Keep the fire burning - black, loud and proud’.

The 2019 Super2 Series winner comes home to race for his fifth year in Supercars, he recorded his best result at Hidden Valley last year and is looking to build on that.

The Middy’s Racing Camaro will be on track tomorrow as the Indigenous Round at Hidden Valley Raceway revs up.

MAC aims to provide culturally appropriate services and to connect and work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to become more confident, take control of all aspects of their life and create pathways to a better future.

Supercars driver, #14 Middy’s Electrical Camaro

“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. 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

“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.

“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.”

Nicholas Middendorp

Director, Middy’s Electrical

“My cousin and Co-Director, Anton Middendorp, and I are absolutely thrilled with the #14 Middy’s Camaro livery. The design beautifully connects our family heritage with the stunning Bungambrawatha region.

“We think the Camaro looks phenomenal!

“A heartfelt thanks to Brad Jones and the team at Mungabareena Aboriginal Corporation (MAC) for their exceptional work on this project and their valuable contributions to the community. We’re equally excited to support Bryce in his home race with the #14 Middy’s Camaro!”
