Team Polizei - Gumball 144 - Gumball3000 Spirit Trophy Winners Gumball organizers Max Cooper and Julie Brangstrup had already pulled off a historic coup by getting permission from the Moroccan government for the Gumball to drive unhindered across the country. Gumball #126 (Ferrari 360 Modena Spyder) suffered the first accident of 2004 when they misjudged a 90 degree right turn and sideswiped a traffic circle curb, cracking their rear left rim and causing the car to fishtail before being totally immobilized. Now, after a day of testing the limits of the Moroccan government's patience, the Gumballers were fresh from a decent night's sleep and ready to push the limit on what was the first (and maybe the last) ever Gumball stage to have the benefit of police protection. www.gumball144.com /04rallyDay4.html

Wired News: Road Race Pits Fast and Flirty The Torino is taking part in the Gumball 3000 rally, a rolling party and road race that brings together millionaire dilettantes, minor luminaries, speed freaks, celebrity-seekers and former centerfolds. He's aiming for the rally's "spirit" award instead; Roy wants to be the most over-the-top Gumballer on the road. Gumball 3000 is a series of five daylong drives, each 500 to 900 miles -- San Fran to Sin City in the first installment, N'awlins to Mee-ya-mi in the last. www.wired.com /news/culture/0,1284,58484,00.html

Team Polizei - Gumball 144 - 3-Time Gumball3000 & Gumball Rally Champions As soon as the Polizei M5 returns from London, upgrades will begin for the 2006 Gumball Rally. As for the Gumball and other rallies, 99% of the driving is highway cruising, rendering all the cosmetics, suspension and 10/10ths performance upgrades irrelevant. I'd wanted to enter the 2001 and 2002 Gumballs, but was concerned about about the reliability of the S4's heavily modified engine under Gumball conditions. www.gumball144.com /polizeim5.html

Cops put brakes on high rollers / Arrests, tickets mark start of notorious coast-to-coast race But the West Coast debut of the Gumball Rally, a notorious European road race marked by eye-popping speeding tickets, five-digit bar bills and the champagne-soaked antics of the effortlessly wealthy, resulted almost immediately in a police crackdown. By midday Thursday, bleary-eyed gumballers nursing Bloody Marys were polishing and revving their high-octane speed machines for the beginning of a five-day, 3,000-mile fete on wheels from San Francisco to Miami, with black- tie bashes along the way. He was hoping to win the coveted "Spirit of the Gumball Award," bequeathed at the end of the race to the zaniest, kindest gumballer. www.sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2003/04/18/BA272954.DTL

Team Polizei - Gumball 144 - Gumball3000 Spirit Trophy Winners So many Gumballers had skipped the Paul Ricard checkpoint that it was pointless to attempt a high arrival ranking. The officer looked at us, inspecting the Polizei M5, the Gumball stickers, our red Mountie uniforms, the flashing lights and sirens, and appeared so stupefied as be unable to radio or call anyone.

Win a car to drive in the Gumball at The Rush Competition The World Cup Rally is one of their most popular annual events and with the new 4x4 category becoming increasingly popular it was a easy decision for Rush. Goodyear researched the terrain and driving conditions of the rally and fitted the Land Rover with the latest Wrangler MT/R tyres to ensure maximum traction and durability in the North African desert. The Rally Association (operators of the ‘World Cup Rally) has a team that has worked on some of the best known long distance rally events, including the Peking to Paris and the Around the World in 80 Days rallies. www.rushcomp.com /html/aboutrush_partners.htm

Gumball 3000 - Gumball Rally Book by Richard Dunwoody & Clement Wilson - The Gumball 3000 Rally is an annual road rally for liggers and lunatics. Former Champion Jockey Richard Dunwoody gives an in-depth interview about his time on the Gumball Rally and reads an excerpt of the book, albeit badly. Anyone who has not bought a copy of the book, in case it might be crap, can download a chapter here - Gumball Rally Book Preview - Chapter 10 "Moroccan Madness Part 1" - and then you can judge for yourself! www.wackyraces.net

3000 Gumball Rally and 3000 Gumball Video Gumball 3000 takes a look at the infamous rally event in it's second consecutive year. Gumball's not a race though, and there's teamwork involved: the socialite Tara Palmer-Tomkinson lies across the bows of a ferry in order to delay it's departure for tardy friends. As we follow our intrepid petrolheads en route we take in all the usual Gumball tomfoolery: A diablo is stolen in Cannes, drivers are arrested for racing traffic cops and TPT delays the departure of the final ferry by laying across it's bow doors. www.stevedunker.com /3000-gumball-video

CycleForums Archive - Question to hardcore riders about the Gumball Rally For those of you that don't know what Gumball 3000 is, it's a staged rally covering over 3000 miles in six days, it started in 1999 when Maximillion Cooper got about 50 racers together to travel through Europe. The rally is invite only and for us regular saps we have to apply, wait and hope to be chosen. I just find it hard to believe a huge company like Kawasaki would put their name on this Rally that A: Doesn't get a LOT of press (some yes, but not a lot) and B: Is known for breaking laws. www.cycleforums.com /forums/showthread/t-103149.html

Team Polizei - Gumball 144 - 3-Time Gumball3000 & Gumball Rally Champions According to Gumball officials we were now in approximately 18th position, so we took full advantage of the clear skies and open roads, pushing once again to a cruising speed of 150mph/240kph. According to Alison, Rory was cruising toward the Spanish border at approximately 75mph/120kph in an effort to avoid escape a grim fate. After calming down and wiping the tears from my eyes, I activated the Public Address system concealed within the Polizei M5's front bumper. www.gumball144.com /04rallyDay2.html

Gumball Rally Car Rentals In late 2002 Travel Executive and Rally Enthusiast Alex Roy sought to hire a sports car for the '03 Gumball3000, but found 2 problems: Gumball Car Hire (GCH) was founded by Alex Roy, 2-time Gumball3000 Trophy Winner and Veteran of four US and European Rallies. GCH is the ONLY firm with whose staff have actually driven the premiere rallies of the 21st century. www.gumballcarhire.com

Team Polizei - Gumball 144 - Gumball3000 Spirit Trophy Winners They were reticent, and luckily Gumball came through with group coverage at the last minute. One can never be too careful when taking a street car on an extreme endurance test like the Gumball3000, so before shipping the M5 got one an oil change, new air filters, new brake pads and four new Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s. There are too many variables when driving 3000 miles at high speed on public roads, and it's irresponsible to trust one's safety to anyone else. www.gumball144.com /04rallyprep1.html

GumBall Rally 3000 MetaFilter Cool, but the Gumball Rally movie was just a rip-off of the (equally bad) Cannonball Run movie that was at least based on a real life event in the early 70's. And yes, the Cannonball Run was released after the Gumball Rally - I meant the first movie was based on the real life event "chronicled" in the second movie...or something. The Jackass special where Knoxville and his buddies participated in the Gumball Rally across Europe was gold. goatse.metafilter.com /mefi/25179

APR - Engineered Performance for Volkswagen Vehicles In the spirit of the movies "Cannonball Run" and "Gumball Rally", the Gumball3000 travels 'original' Gumball route from Rockefeller Centre in New York and ending at the Playboy mansion in Los Angeles. This year the rally will include more action than ever punctuated by the wildest parties each evening. Having conquered Europe three times from 1999 to 2001, this year the rally will challenge the driver’s senses more than ever. www.goapr.com /VW/race/gumball.html

The Gumball Blog The Gumball 3000 Rally, in it's seventh annual, it's THE chance to be Burt Reynolds. The Ultimate Rally (Forum) and his founder Kim Schmitz supporting the Gumball 3000 Rally in the net really much. We arrived at the Euro tunnel in time for the earlier train than Gumball had booked however by the time we had got a burger king they had just closed the barrier. gumballblog.blogspot.com

Team Polizei - Gumball 144 - 3-Time Gumball3000 & Gumball Rally Champions Rallies like the Gumball require a scanner that can pick up both analog and digital police bands, and the BC796D's 1000 channels just barely cover a cross-country run. Small enough to be mounted in the M5's headliner, the 520XL's internal speaker is just loud enough to hear clearly even at high speed. Again, I don't understand how anyone can enter a US Gumball with such a radio. www.gumball144.com /teknologie.html

Car 15 - The Website There is an official website for the Gumball rally, which can be found here. The site features details of many of the other cars that were entered, with plenty of pictures of our escapes, and our Gumball diary, which charts the daily goings on from Car15 during the rally. Due to the fun that we had doing the Gumball this year we have now formed 15Racing (more details to come on the new site), which should be a very interesting little project. www.car15.com

The Gumball Rally Movie Poster The Gumball Rally was based on the real-life Cannonball Baker "sea-to-shining-sea" road race that was held over public highways, conducted from New York-to-California, in the 1970's. The Gumball Rally is actually pretty well done, at least compared to Burt's Cannonball Run, because of its' excellant cars (Cobra, Ferrari, L-88 Corvettes, Rolls, Jag, Z-28 Camaro, Mercedes, etc.), and fairly realistic story. Although the real star of the flic is the blue 427 Cobra (shown on the poster) driven by Sarrazin in the movie. www.sd455.com /moviegumballrally.htm

Disney Information Bulletin Board Archive - Advice needed re gumball rally and US entry visavie waiver programme I am considering doing the gumball rally with my neighbour who is a very good rally driver and powerboat driver. Many of the gumballers would be banned many times over if USA speeding fines were recorded on your UK license. As we cannot afford to race in a ferrari etc we are considering something unusual, my friend fancies a fastish kind of car why my wife and his, and myself would like to do it in four minis like the Italian job. www.thedibb.co.uk /forums/showthread/t-36976.html

Gumball Rally review (1976) - Qwipster's Movie Reviews The Gumball Rally is the first (unless you count Death Race 2000) of several movies which were based on a real-life coast-to-coast car race, and some critics consider it the best of the bunch. Perhaps the one quality of The Gumball Rally that sets it apart from the others comes from the fantastic scenes which were obviously on-location. There some nifty camerawork, good use of the widescreen process, and nicely shot cinematography, making Gumball an exciting race, not because of the story, but through the way it is packaged together. www.qwipster.net /gumballrally.htm
