With more thrills and spills than the
'original' Cannonball Run, The Gumball 3000 had it all !
Participants take the
wheel of some of the most powerful and sexy cars ever built and drive 3000 miles
in 5 days! Country to country or state to state, the only thing that links them
all are the police and the roadblocks trying to stop them!
In a real-life version of The Cannonball Run, every year a collection of the
craziest people in the world gather to take part in a 3000 mile road-race across
Europe (or the USA in 2002). Dannii Minogue, Happy Mondays, Fun Lovinˇ¦ Criminals
and the Jackass MTV crew not to mention assorted playgirls, aristocrats, film
stars and racing legends, have all taken part in the most amazing road spectacle
ever seen.
Itˇ¦s non-stop action and partying! Movie stars, supermodels, sports stars,
racing drivers, rock stars, entrepreneurs have already joined the Gumball 3000.
Just a few eccentrics!
