Gumball 3000 2006
Well another Gumball 3000 is now upon us. What they are trying to accomplish this year is quite amazing. I’ve collected some information and links for this years’ rally. Enjoy.
Gumball 2006 Route:
The Event follows a 3 stage, 3000 mile driving route that incorporates Europe, Asia and the United States.

The cars are then flown again across the pacific to the USA.

This is directly off the Gumball 3000 website. Enjoy. (Sunday 30th April - Sunday 7th May)
Starting in London and finishing 8 days later in Los Angeles…this one is just NUTS, 120 amazing cars driving 3000 miles across 3 Continents in just 8 days! Last year the crowds on route were HUGE, and this year we want even more of you to cheer us on. We’ve got more supercars, superstars and rock n’ roll parties than you can imagine! Look out for ‘Bam Margera’ (MTV’s Viva La Bam) and Ryan Dunn (Jackass) in Bam’s purple Lamborghini that Billy Idol ‘chain-sawed’ a sun-roof into, along with skateboard legend Tony Hawk and action sports stars Mike Vallely and ‘Rooftop’ Escamilla in their Jeep, alongside MTV UK’s Jackass styled “Dirty Sanchez” in their ‘drift racing’ Nissan, next to Love Actually film star Martine McCutcheon in her pimped up Range Rover, next to ‘Goldie Lookin Chain’ in their A-Team van, next to supermodel Jodie Kidd in her supercar, next to Fast & Furious’ star Matt Schulze in his RUF Porsche, beside Freestyle MX legend Carey Hart and his pop star wife ‘Pink’ in their Bentley, alongside MX superstar Travis Pastrana in his WRX Sti Subaru; then catch a glimpse of hip hop legend Snoop Dogg doing an exclusive Gumball performance at our party in Las Vegas, and look out for ‘rock god’ Lenny Kravitz as he puts pedal to the metal, next to Blink 182’s Travis Barker as they all race to cross the Rodeo Drive finish line! Hugh Hefner and his ‘Playmates’ will then be preparing champagne for all at the Playboy Mansion, where Travis Barker, along with a celebrity DJ and DJ Ron ‘porn star’ Jeremy will spin the tunes as the Gumballers party the night away. Put all this together and you’ve got one hell of a crazy Gumball!
I’ve done some checking and collected a few links that might help some people looking to track this years Gumball. They have an very cool tracking system that allows you to track each car live here.
