We hoped it would happen, and now it looks like it will. Mark Webber will race a Porsche at the 2015 Bathurst 12 Hour race. Ensuring the headlines will go into overdrive he will share driving duties with Hollywood actor Eric Bana and triple Olympic gold medallist James Tomkins.
At least that seems to be the word from Mark himself:
“@harrytuckerr: @harrytuckerr: Holy crap, @AussieGrit and @EricBana67 racing a Porsche together at the @Bathurst12hour next year!” No 2015.

“@griffo346: @AussieGrit Mark will you be driving for Porsche at the Bathurst 12 hour in February 2014?”15 with @EricBana67 @jamestomkins65

When we hear more and any official confirmation we’ll let you know.

He has mentioned Eric Bana in a couple of his farewell interviews, and also talked about not racing professionally in Australia anymore other than doing some fun things with mates. So you can take this as confirmation then.
Very cool.
This should do wonders for the profile of the event here and across the world.
