BMW 1 Series: Revenge of the Celebrity Challenge Racers

*Best of the Best Celebrity Challengers return for more BMW track action.
*28 drivers, 28 BMW 1 Series cars chase glory on race weekend.
*James Tomkins to defend 2004 victory, Kieren Perkins, Paul Mercurio,
Jo Bailey confirmed to drive.

BMW will celebrate the 10th running of the FORMULA 1 Foster's
Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne by inviting the Best of the Best
Celebrity Challenge competitors back to the cockpit for a second taste
of track action in March 2005.

The drivers will take the wheel of the latest addition to the BMW
range, the all-new dynamic BMW 1 Series.

Confirmed drivers include 2004 Celebrity Challenge winner and Olympic
Gold Medallist, Oarsome Foursome rower James Tomkins, Olympic Gold
Medallist swimmer Kieren Perkins, Actor Paul Mercurio and TV
personality Jo Bailey. Given the Celebrity Challenge's high-profile,
BMW is confident previous podium finishers will be itching for another
chance to strut their skills in front of a huge crowd at the circuit
and a massive television audience. One Australian superstar not
driving a BMW 1 Series in the Celebrity Challenge is Mark Webber. He
will watch the race from the pits prior to making his debut for the
BMW-WilliamsF1 Team in the main race, the Formula One Grand Prix,
hoping for a podium placing for the first time.
