It's not a race, it's a rally.

Basically loads of knobhead musicians and slappers drive across Europe in stretched Hummers and chromed Lamborghinis.

Was speaking to one of the Gumball staff last week and he told me the route and cost!! Starting off in Scandinavia and heading to Monaco for the F1, and going via St Petersburg, in about 6 days!

I've got a saving of funds to go to and see the start, but I've got no one to go with frown

Never heard of the Gunba 1113000 but I have seen similar mobile ttfests on TV before such as the Gumball3000.

I certainly wouldn't enjoy seeing every last vapid competitor terminally crash into each other within a hundred yards of the start line then be hit by a shower of meteorites covered in dog st.

So you wouldn't take part in it if you were offered the chance then?

No, I really don't think that I would. I have no desire to spend a week of my life driving too fast across Europe accompanied only by fat music rappers and tacky 'glamour girls' in the most hideously tasteless abomination of a motor car that the world has ever seen.

This... The Gumball thrives on this image and perception. Not interested in that at all. The one where you take a shed on a cross cou try haul looks far more my cup of tea.

Each to their own I suppose. Whilst I agree it is a bit tacky, it looks like a huge amount of fun to me and I wouldn't hesitate to do it if I had the chance.

I'd like to do that as well, but if I had the choice of driving around Europe in a supercar or my volvo 850 I think I know which one I'd choose tongue out

That would make a fantastic TG challenge - genuinely see who had the most "sense" on buying 2nd hand cars.

Maybe a three way challenge between TG, 5th Gear, and Mike whatshisface smile

Have you noticed the best Top Gear challenges involve stters, (as well as seemingly to me, the least scripted).

Yep yes

Although I do enjoy the expensive exotica, for me the snotters seem far more interesting. Best one was the 4x4 challenge in South America. I'm sure that was fixed - no way would a Land Cruiser be THAT unreliable hehe
