The 2024 Darwin Triple Crown at Hidden Valley marked the official Indigenous round of the Supercars Championship for the third consecutive year. Once again, race fans were treated to an incredible display of Indigenous artwork, expertly woven into race liveries in recognition of First Nations people.
In a trend that has grown in recent years, many teams continued running their Darwin liveries at the following Townsville 500 round due to the long distances from their home race shops.
One of the standout Indigenous liveries featured at both rounds adorned the #25 Mobil 1 Optus Racing Ford Mustang GT, driven by superstar Chaz Mostert.
Designed by artist Ava Muir, the striking livery—titled Artangentyele Akethe Durt, meaning Together in the Open Stars—blended traditional artwork techniques with modern race livery design. The predominantly blue and black Mustang was a particularly eye-catching example of this fusion.
Mostert’s results in Darwin saw him finish 5th and 16th, but he bounced back in Townsville, delivering podium finishes in both races with a 2nd and 3rd place.
In a season where Mostert finished third in the championship—and as the highest-ranked Ford driver—the Townsville 500 marked the beginning of a strong run of results that solidified his position for the year. We’re excited to replicate his stunning Townsville Mustang for collectors.
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 5.4-litre Coyote quad overhead cam V8 and engine bay surround. Underneath the model, the undercarriage details the unique Gen3 floorpan.
Comprised of roughly 204 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 will come in an exclusive, one-off limited edition with an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity presented in its own, Authentic Collectables branded protective cardboard folder.
It's another model that fans of Chaz Mostert, Walkinshaw Andretti United and Ford won't want to miss. Once it's sold out, it won't be available again.
