New update for the 2006 Gumball Rally!

Dear 2006 Gumballers (and fans),

February is now with us and there is now less than three months to go until the start in central London! With only 5 spaces now remaining we have cars ranging from Bugatti Veryons’ and one off Ferraris driven by Arab sheiks to eccentric car enthusiasts in old Astons. This year will provide the most amazing mix of cars ever to be seen together, a true spectacle for participants and crowd alike and this really will go down as being the most talked about event of the year. With 250,000 fans watching last years start we are expecting even bigger crowds this year with all of the major cities the rally travels through getting behind the event. This Gumball will also be filmed for an 8 part TV series to be distributed by ESPN worldwide and will provide a backdrop for a Gumball 3000 Hollywood scripted film. Pamela Anderson and Missy Elliot will be joining us for the US leg and Gumball veterans Adrien Brody, Johnny Knoxville and Tony Hawk will be on the road with us for this 3000 mile adventure.
