World of Tanks‘ Regional Publishing Director said of the event, “We wanted our 160 million players and new fans to get hyped up about this massive game update. Nothing is bigger than going for a tank pull GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title!”
“We’re calling on all Australians and New Zealanders to get behind the strongman attempting the world record and witness the true power of man versus tank.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s business partner and 2018 Arnold Sports Festival organiser Tony Doherty called the Tank pull event “one to watch.”
“We have had truck pull events in the past, but this is the first ever tank pull event.
