Bondy had by far the best reliability of all the Sierras throughout the ATCC, only retiring from two races (including the AMSCAR Series). Unfortunately one of those came at Amaroo, where he outpaced Johnson to take pole, and Johnson didn't have the excuse of changeable weather or his own timing showing he did a faster lap.
The team seemed to lose their way after this, struggling with engine reliability. When did they start running Motec engine management? Was it from the beginning? It was great to see their resurgence in 1990, capped by Bondy's two wins at Lakeside and Mallala.
