'Culture in motion'
We’re thrilled to be part of this year’s Indigenous Round — a chance to share story, culture, and creativity in one of the most unexpected and powerful ways: through race cars hurtling around the track at over 300km/h.
For us, this isn’t just about design — it’s about storytelling in motion, with culture, connection, and country leading the way.
From concept to completion, Smyth Studio is proud to have worked closely with artist Jedess Hudson and the Erebus team to deliver two powerful livery designs that honour different stories while standing strong together on the track.
Jack Le Brocq’s #9 car, “Power Through Connection,” features original artwork and full livery design by Jay Hobbs (Smyth Studio). The piece represents the invisible threads that bind us — between people, place, and purpose — and how those threads carry us forward.
Cooper Murray’s #99 car, “Fuelled by Fire,” is based on original artwork by Jedess Hudson, with supporting artwork and visual cohesion by Smyth Studio to align both cars under a shared visual narrative.
These aren’t just race cars — they’re fast-moving canvases carrying culture at speed. And on a day like today, this moment is about more than competition. It’s about visibility. Pride. And legacy.
Massive thanks to Erebus Motorsport and V8 Supercars for making space for these stories on the national stage.
