Walker for the Targa Tasmania

Murray Walker, the celebrated British TV commentator, is to partner Australian motorsport veteran Colin Bond on the Targa Tasmania. Walker will be Bond's co-driver in a Toyota on the event in May. Walker has been retired from F1 since the end of 2001. Bond, a former Australian touring car and rally champion has competed on the event once before.

Among the 260 entries on the event it is worth noting that Network Ten, which has just finished televising the Australian GP, is staffed by racing fans as executives David White and Scott Young will be competing in the Targa in a Lexus.
