Webber confirms Tasmania Challenge for 2012

25 January 2012

Mark Webber has confirmed that his Tasmania Challenge will be returning this year. This follows immense success for the event in 2011, with some 100,000 Australian dollars (£67,000) having been raised. However, there was a postponement after the Red Bull driver suffered a broken leg in an accident at the end of 2008.

“The 2011 Swisse Mark Webber Tasmania Challenge was an amazing success, with over $100,000 being donated to charity, and we are aiming to make the 2012 event even bigger with a number of exciting new editions,” Webber explains.

“I have another big year ahead of me and I am looking forward to testing my limits again around the beautiful island of Tasmania straight after the last round in Brazil.”

The five-day race will start in the city of Launceston, progressing through settings such as the Bay of Fires and Bicheno before finishing in Hobart on 2 December.
