Nissan have two cars ready for the first time, while Brock enters a third M3 for Crompton. Miedecke's Sierra runs unsponsored this weekend, to hopefully attract a sponsor. Toyota Team Australia only runs two Corollas, with John Smith out of favour over his Bathurst drive with DJR.

Bond puts in a scintillating lap to beat Johnson to pole, but it's the Shell Sierras that hold sway in the race. Bond misses a gear away from the line and drops to fourth, before he's delayed by a pitstop to change a broken alternator. Johnson drops back with a misfire late in the race, letting Bowe through for his second win of the year, clinching a Shell 1-2 in the championship.
