The first part of the competition we wrote about earlier, with the $ 5000 price money, has ended. Now it’s time to check out the final results and vote for a winner! The videos are of very high quality this year. Some may be considered as the best streetracing video compilation ever.

We are glad to announce that two new members joined the Gumball-3000.com team!

Anov and Swearbear joined us to make this website even better and together we will bring you the best Gumball 3000 coverage you’ve ever seen!

Stay tuned for their first articles and more!

Scul, member at the ultimate rally board, created an interactive database full of Gumball 3000 stuff.

It contains the routes from 1999 to 2005 with maps. Some text about the history. Most info is about the 2005 rally, including awards and a full database with all the drivers, and pics of the cars (and of most of the drivers).

It’s a great application full of interesting facts and full participant profiles!

It’s approx an 80 meg download, the server is kinda slow but it’s worth the wait:

Btw please be aware that due the environment this app is programmed in your computers will require some components to be able to run this piece of software.

MS Access (included in Office XP/2003) or the seperate Jet Runtime engine and Visual C++ Runtime.

Jet Engine:

Visual C++ Runtime:

Normal x86 package
AMD64 package

Most computers will already have these components so only download and install them if you run into problems…

Today we decided it was time for a new layout. Main reason was the quite boring layout of the old site and the limited options for posting articles.

The new site offers some nice new features like the ability to add external pages with pictures etc.

It’s also possible to add new authors to the site. So if you like to read and write about Gumball or other rally events and be part of the Gumball-3000.com team. Leave a comment or send us an email (info@gumball-3000.com)!

Support us by linking to Gumball-3000.com/rally/.

We hope you enjoy our site!

Feel free to share your ideas and suggestions with us in the comments!

Among the cars were two Ferrari Enzo’s, a Ford Escort Cosworth, a bunch of Lamborghini’s, Bentleys, Porsches and a 2CV with a topspeed of 80 miles an hour.
