To put the film coverage to a new level, Gumball 3000 Films hired a Helicopter Team called Air Gumball. Team Air Gumball will follow the rally from Istanbul to Berlin. The Film crew will be teaming up with @-VISER, Pro7/Sat1 and MyVideo to bring you the amazing footage the record from of the event. Patrick Fischer, Head of Production at Gumball 3000 Films says ‘this is the first time that we have a helicopter following the rally. The chopper we’ve got is a $6 million Bell fitted with the latest in camera and mobile broadcasting technologies, so the footage we’re going to get this year will be mind-blowing!’ Watch out for exclusive helicopter footage on TV (at Pro7 and Sat1 in Germany) and you can also see the footage online at Myvideo.de and Metacafe.
Here is the trailer Team Air Gumball made for this years Gumball 3000 including a Maserati 3200 GT, two Porsche Turbo’s, a Porsche Carrera GT3 and a Porsche 997. If these cars are all Gumball participants is not sure. In the trailer all cars share the same Gumball Team number.
