The Falken Tasmania Challenge is a V8 Supercar event held annually at Symmons Plains Raceway in Tasmania, Australia.

The event is staged over a three-day weekend (Friday-Sunday). Practice is held on Friday with a 60-minute qualifying session on Saturday, followed by the first of three 120-kilometre (approx. 75-mile) races. The final two races are held on Sunday. The winner of the event is determined by points accumulated over all three races.

Symmons Plains returned to the V8 Supercar calendar for the 2004 season following a five-year absence, during which the track received a A$3 million upgrade.

In 2009,the Tasmania challenge will move from its "traditional" 13th round (second last) spot to the 4th round. Effectively, the event swaps with the Bigpond 400 at Barbagallo Raceway
