11 If you race the Gumball in a BioDiesel
DeLorean youll get the most press ever!
- A Very Astonished Alex from Gumball HQ
12What the is it?
- A modern day version of the infamous 1970s road
trip movie, each year the route changes but the
foundation of the rally stays the same 3,000
miles of adventure with the most eccentric group
of thrill-seekers imaginable, partying every
night with the whos who of international
society and pop culture. Cars featured on the
rally range from million-dollar luxury vehicles
to VW campers and even ice cream trucks. The
2006 rally is an eight-day, 3000-mile drive
across three continents with a goal of uniting
nations through a common passion for music,
fashion, film and the motorcar.
13Whats the prize?
- There is no prize for coming first! (Its a Rally
not a Race)However all entrants get a bronze
statue of Burt Reynolds bust fancied after his
portrayal of J.J. McClure in Cannonball Run
although all are hoping to be awarded the
prestigious accolade of Spirit of the Gumball
Trophy (usually just a gumball machine,
complete with gum! The first is rumored to have
been stolen from the Playboy Mansion) a prize for
the Gumballer who most embodies the free,
uncompromising character of the rally.
14Who in their right mind?
- Nicknamed Gumballers, the rallys 2006 cast
includes 240 drivers from the famously well off
to the avid car enthusiast competing in 120
cars. However, with a free spirit and attraction
that transcends social barriers, Gumball 3000
appeals to the adventurer in all, regardless of
status or wealth.
15Whats the point?
- The annual playground for societys elite,
Gumball 3000 offers a select few the opportunity
to drive (and party) alongside billionaires,
extreme sport athletes, film and fashion stars
and rock icons. Ultimately, the rally offers an
escape from the every day and an excuse for
aristocratic delinquency (Steve O, Jackass).
162008 RALLY
- To celebrate Gumball 3000's 10th Anniversary
rally, in 2008 we are embarking upon creating
the ultimate rally of the future from San
Francisco to Beijing incorporating a true once in
a lifetime check point in North Korea! - The eight-day 3000-mile route will embrace the
contrasting cultures of the east and west, whilst
also uniting over 40 nationalities of
participants taking part, and truly benchmarking
itself at the forefront of partying, exploring,
and the promotion of eco friendly transportation.
120 of the worlds most amazing vehicles will
participate, and as well as the usual display of
stunning supercars, the 2008 Gumball will also
showcase and encourage vehicles pushing
environmental technology boundaries to create a
friendly and safer future.
