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.
