2023 Supercars Darwin Triple Crown – Start time, how to watch, channel & more

The northern swing kicks off with the annual trip to the Top End, which will once again mark the official Indigenous round.

A full field of spectacular First Nations-inspired liveries has been rolled out over the last week with teams combining with a number of charities and initiatives to bring these one-off looks to life.

The weekend will run to the SuperSprint format, with a three-part qualifying session determining the grid for the opening 100-kilometre race.

On Sunday there are two rapid-fire, back-to-back qualifying sessions to settle the grids for two more 100-kilometre heats.

The Dunlop supersoft tyre will be in action across the weekend as the sole compound available to teams.

All eyes will be on whether Erebus Motorsport can keep up its rapid start to the Gen3 era, with drivers Brodie Kostecki and Will Brown currently first and second in the drivers' standings, and the squad on top of the teams' championship.
