Looking at the countdown timer it is showing only 30 Days to go!! At Gumball HQ everything is going well. This truly global Gumball is going to be huge not only at the start in London where we are expecting even more fans than last year but all the way through. CNN covering the whole event! Bam with his Lamborghini which has had an incident with a chainsaw and Tony Hawk are 100% confirmed, as is Snoop Dogg for the party at the hard Rock in Las Vegas. Expect to see many other well known faces at various stops and parties along the route!!

Watch out for the Porsche 996 Turbo of Team Tango next Gumball! The Porsche has about 500 bhp and a topspeed of 208mph. The car does a sprint to 60mph in 4 seconds. The Team Tango Porsche is among the fastest and most powerful cars of the 2006 grid!

Team 26 picked their Lamborghini Murcielago roadster as car for the Gumball 2006. This is the third time in a row the friends from Manchester participate in the Gumball 3000. The last two years in a red Ferrari 360 Modena spider. Read all about their 2005 Gumball adventure here.

Team 96 will appear at the startline in London with the same Lamborghini Gallardo they used in the Gumball 3000 last year. This year the car will have special tinted windows to make it look like a black bullit!

Stay tuned for more info about Team 96!
