during the
2007 Skycity Triple Crown. Hidden Valley Raceway had existed for several years prior to being upgraded for its first national championship event in 1998, a round of the Australian Touring Car Championship (ATCC).
Mark Skaife had been on course to take victory in the opening race when an engine issue on the final lap allowed teammate
Craig Lowndes past, with Skaife finishing 2nd. Lowndes' car then failed to fire prior to the start of the second race and both he and Skaife failed to make the grid, leaving the front row empty.
Russell Ingall, who had a stop-go penalty in the first race for spinning
Jason Bright, charged from 13th on the grid to take victory and went on to win the inaugural round with another win in race three of the weekend. It was also the first round win for
Stone Brothers Racing, who saw further success at the event in 2001 when
Marcos Ambrose scored his first round win, despite not winning a race over the weekend. In 2004, Ambrose made contact while attempting to overtake Skaife for the lead on the final corner of the race, delaying both and granting victory to Ambrose's teammate Ingall. In the following race, Ambrose then spun Ingall off on the first corner of the race.
Todd Kelly went on to win the round, his first of two consecutive event wins.
Michael Caruso took his first Supercars race win at the event in 2009, holding off a late charge from
Alex Davison. At the 2015 event, Lowndes became the first to achieve 100 race wins in ATCC and Supercars, capitalising on a collision between Rick Kelly and
Fabian Coulthard on the opening lap. In 2016, Caruso provided
Nissan with their first round victory since
1992. At the same event,
Lee Holdsworth suffered a broken pelvis in a first lap accident, forcing him out of the next three events. From 2017 to 2019,
Scott McLaughlin became the first driver to win three consecutive events in Darwin. Most notably, this included McLaughlin becoming the first driver to win the Triple Crown in 2019, qualifying fastest in the top ten shootout (albeit only by a margin of under two hundredths of a second) and winning both races for
DJR Team Penske. In addition to the Triple Crown, Hidden Valley hosted a second event in consecutive weeks, known as the Darwin SuperSprint, as part of the calendar changes caused by the
COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, it was announced the event would become the championship's
Indigenous Round, with some teams running special liveries for the event. Over the weekend, the event also incorporated
Superbikes and
drag racing with Supercars, for the first time since the
Winfield Triple Challenge events at
Sydney Motorsport Park in the early 1990s. In 2025, the rules again changed to guarantee the award of the Triple Crown - however
Broc Feeney won all three races and took three pole positions to win the award by both the existing and new definition. ==Winners==
