The R&J Batteries GR Supra has been transformed to help celebrate the Mungabareena Aboriginal Corporation for the Supercars Championship’s Indigenous Round in Darwin.

Andre Heimgartner’s recent race winning Supra will be adorned with creations from the organisation for the round dedicated to Indigenous culture and community.

Brad Jones Racing has partnered with the Mungabareena Aboriginal Corporation (MAC) for the past four years, bringing to life artworks inspired by the organisation’s many community projects across the Albury-Wodonga region for the Indigenous Round.

In 2026, the focus turns to the organisation itself, celebrating its multi-decade history of supporting communities throughout the region, as well as its humble beginnings and growth since the 1990s.

What began with three Aunties sitting at a kitchen table, dreaming of providing empowerment, strength and a deeper cultural connection, has grown into an organisation with deep roots in the community that delivers incredible outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

The artworks were created by current MAC employees who work on the ground with the community every day.

With services spanning five sectors, Early Years, Families, Health, Housing and Justice, MAC is a vital touchpoint for locals.

The artworks featured on the R&J Batteries GR Supra depict the three Aunties sitting at the kitchen table, the services MAC provides, and the communities it supports.

It also represents some of the incredible landmarks in the region that MAC supports, from the striking Murray and Ovens rivers to the mountains in the high country. 

The design celebrates the organisation’s creation, growth, its achievements within the community, and its ongoing commitment to delivering strong outcomes for locals across the region.

Supercars’ Indigenous Round will take place across the June 19–21 weekend, featuring three races from Friday to Sunday.

“This round is always incredibly special, and the team’s relationship with MAC has grown strongly over the past few years.

“The car looks amazing, and I’m excited to get it on track in Darwin. Hopefully we can build on what we achieved at the last round and carry that momentum through all three days in the Top End.”

“We have worked with the team at MAC since 2023, and over that time they have created some truly inspiring artworks that we’ve had the privilege of racing with.

“MAC provides invaluable support and services to the Albury-Wodonga community and surrounding region. Being able to showcase their work and story on a national stage is a small way for us to give back to an organisation that has such a significant impact locally.”
