Gumball Rally – Which One?

[golfman]

Thinking of entering an event such as the Gumball in 2004. Anyone done it in a TVR?

Also what is the official race organisers website, as there are several spin off organisers doing their own thing now. Don’t want to shell out a couple of grand for the wrong event!

Cheers.

If you're looking at doing what was shown on Sky Men & Motors Sunday night then it may be speaking to 'Woof' a fellow pistonheader.

If you watched he was 3rd after the first day, think he ended up in top 10.

There was a Cerbera on, but it broke down.

James - there is only one true Gumball, and that's the one that crosses America following the true tradition of the film... although they do also do a European version which looks pretty damn fun too if somewhat hairy... Ferrari, 200mph, hard shoulder... nuff said! (at least when the Koenesig(?) hit 242mph in the States it was on an open highway)

There is the Cannonball, which also looks fun but nowhere near the scale of the Gumball... that was the one that was on Sunday night Men&Motors with Reverend Bob and the big man upstairs

Or for something a little different, there's the Plymouth-Dakar rally as featured in the sunday times

The Cannonball Run is in Europe but I've lost the URL, sorry.

Or the PH one next year!

As soon as Ted give us the details, I'm there!

There is only one Gumball but its not in America every year.

The original and the most fun looking thats for sure.
