Here’s the Ruby Wax Gumball special. Ruby Wax joined the Gumball carnaval back in 2001. The Gumball run went from London to St Petersburg through France, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Baltic States and Russia and back to the UK through Scandinavia, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and France. Kimble did all he could to win the race with his Megacar.
German TV gave a lot of attention to the 2001 Gumball. Among the tv stations covering the rally was the crew from RTL. Here’s the 43 minute coverage they made about the 2001 Gumball.
Today we take you back to the Gumball of 2001. The 2001 race went from Hyde Park Corner in London to Berlin, Vilnius, Saint Petersburg, Helsinki, Stockholm and Copenhagen before returning to London. Kim ‘Kimble’ Schmitz finished first in his Brabus EV12 Megacar.
Special about the 2001 edition was the Jackass crew joining the Gumball in a Jaguar. Jackass made a nice video of the 2001 Gumball race of about 40 minutes!
