Just watched a documentary on the last 3 Gumball 3000 Rallys! Gasp!

Just wondering what you guy's think of it? Anyone been on the Gumball either in the US or European one?

It's not quite street racing but some of these cars do pretty high speeds on the open road. Ruf 911 Turbo video'd at 206 mph !!! ' Apparently ' the Koenigsegg CC8S cracked 242 mph on the last Gumball. Couple of english guy's flipped there 355 Spyder (reg plate L000 NEY) at over 120mph and walked away and lot's of other crazy stuff going on!

Good to see these supercars being thrashed like they where intended for!

did you know that the JACKASS crew (off mtv) was part of the gumball 3000? johny knoxville and partyboy and a few others

Yeah, the guys that flipped the F-355 killed a cow in the process...poor cow. :sunglasse

Dammit, I feel like some prime rib now.

The Ferrari looked like it had a red flame job painted in the front from all the blood. :smokin:

If I had more money than I knew what to do with then I'd race a car in the Gumball Rally, just like the old days of the Cannonball. Except now we aren't bitching about the speed limit, we just don't care what it is, we're going to break it.

:biggrin:

I prefer the old style Gumball, how it originally started.

From New York to Los Angeles in the shorts time possible. I believe the record was something like 36 hours? Don't remember.


But this new version they have of stopping everynight at a hotel and partying is such a wussy way to do it. I want to see them going balls out all day and night.. a true competitors sport. Shows the skill of the driver/co-driver and the endurance of the vehicle.

But with that said, If I had the money... I'd do it just for shits n giggles. :biggrin:

I'm with you I would love to race from NY to LA no stopping, night and day, full speed. Hmmmmm anyone interested? lol

The MISCHEIF 3000 DVD covers the Gumball 3000, really worth a look... the other Mischeif DVDs are not too bad either.

yeah i have seen mischeif 3000 DVD it is an awsome DVD!!!....
make sure you check out the bonus footage about the GTR Mustang with a V8 rotery engine that thing is a beast!!!

haha my fave part of the race is when they see the bently with the bird stuck in the front grill of the car at the gas station and then later in the video you see the bently with bently driving along with the bird still there!!!
