Ryan Jenyns has loved motor racing for as long as he can remember.

He's always wanted to be part of a racing team, but while he was growing up, there were no Indigenous role models in the sport for him to look up to.

"We've definitely been treated a bit differently and looked down on a little bit. But I definitely think we can make a change," he said. 

The change Jenyns is hoping to usher in has its roots in his team, Racing Together, which travelled from Queensland to be part of the Supercars Darwin Triple Crown.

The team is full of First Nations youths looking to make their mark in the sport.

From Friday and across the weekend, they are taking part the inaugural Indigenous Round of Supercars.

Braedyn Cidoni is the driver of the team's prized Hyundai Excel, which is competing in the combined sedans category.

He said having an Indigenous round was a good initiative.

"It's good to see them actually making a difference," he said.

"Seeing all the Indigenous liveries has been massive."

While the team want to increase First Nations representation in Australian motorsports, they say they are focused on the job at hand.

"I just hope we can make this just normal, because it hasn't been normal," Jenyns said.

Racing Together will race its Hyundai Excel at Hidden Valley as part of the Supercars bill.

Brimming with confidence, team manager Tristin Mitchell-Delaney said the team was loving both the weather in Darwin and its chances at winning the category.

"It's a good atmosphere … I think we have a pretty high chance. We're already in the top four without being able to get into fifth gear," he said.

Mitchell-Delaney hopes his team will turn heads on and off the track. (ABC News: Hamish Harty)

Closing the gap

Garry Connelly and wife Monique are the team behind Racing Together.

Before starting the team, Mr Connelly said he spotted a gap in representation in Australian motorsports.

"I think ultimately what we're doing is setting an example."

The team trains young First Nations people in the sport in the hopes to secure full-time jobs in the sector.

So far, the plan appears to be working.

"We've had three of our first intake of 10 already get full-time jobs in motorsport-related industries," Mr Connelly said.

The event will be the second time the Racing Together team has competed at Hidden Valley.

Mr Connelly said the achievements of the team so far were only the beginning.

"What we'd like to do is to expand into Townsville later this year, and then hopefully our next step after that will be Darwin," he said.

"I think it'd be great for the for the Indigenous kids up here to have something like this to get involved in."
