The legendary Ford Sierra RS500, once driven by the iconic Colin Bond, is set to make a thrilling return to the racing scene in New Zealand. This car, which played a pivotal role in Bond's remarkable ATCC career, will be a centerpiece of the 2026 Historic Touring Cars event in New Zealand. Bond's prowess behind the wheel was unmatched, and his final two ATCC victories in 1990 at Lakeside and Mallala showcased his versatility. The car's recent appearance at the 2024 Repco Bathurst 1000, driven by Chris Stillwell, reignited excitement among racing enthusiasts. The 2026 HTCNZ promises an exhilarating experience, featuring two stops at Ruapuna Raceway, including a supporting role for the Supercars' ITM Christchurch Super440 on April 17-19. This event will undoubtedly be a celebration of racing history and a testament to the enduring legacy of Colin Bond's remarkable career.
