It was confirmed today that Mark Webber will bring together the most ubiquitous elements of Australian national life by combining perhaps the world?s most iconic landmark with sporting excellence. He will cross the Sydney Harbour Bridge in a Williams BMW Formula One car on Sunday February 27, a week before the 2005 season commences at the Melbourne Grand Prix on March 6, 2005 ... more
So if you are a Sydneysider or lucky enough to be in Sydney on the 27th, head to Hickson Rd Reserve at The Rocks where Channel 10 will have their live footage on a superscreen.
The Bridge will be closed to all traffic, including pedestrians, for Webber's Overdrive, which will be run under strict safety conditions
UPDATE: Channel 10 will broadcast the event from 8:00 AM

Went there this morning and the sound of the BMW across the bridge was awesome!
Webber was a bit nervous at the start but then settled down and started to put in some faster runs. The surface was so bumpy though!
It was a pity they didn't let people on the bridge but at least Sydney got a glimpse of a Formula 1 car finally!
And Webber didn't do any doughnuts
He spoke to channel 10 and didn't rate his chances. He expects the other top teams not to have reliability issues in Melbourne (but maybe in Malaysia) and that they could finish a disspointing 7th or 8th
I know Williams are known to keep expectations low but this is dissapointing!
