Teams have been busy unveiling a spectacular array of liveries showcasing Indigenous artists over recent weeks.
The Triple Crown marks a return to three-day running for Supercars with a pair of half-hour practice sessions on Friday.
On Saturday the field will take part in a three-part qualifying session, culminating in a Top 10 Shootout, to set the grid for the first of three 110-kilometre sprint races.
On Sunday morning two all-in, back-to-back qualifying sessions will set the grids for the two remaining two races.
Each race will feature a single compulsory pitstop for at least two tyres.
Those tyres will be the Dunlop super soft which has prompted some tweaks to the tyre regulations. The minimum pressure has been raised from 17 psi to 20 psi while baking tyres in the sun, to boost temperature and pressure, has been outlawed.
The aim is to force teams to actually run 20 psi in the tyres, rather than be able to bleed back to a lower real pressure, which should promote degradation.
Shane van Gisbergen will arrive in Darwin as the comfortable points leader, although he could spend the weekend battling jet lag after racing at Le Mans last weekend.
