Copenhagen – Stockholm – Helsinki – St. Petersburg – Tallinn – Riga – Warsaw – Vienna – Monte Carlo.
Start your engines…as the 15th anniversary ‘Gumball 3000’ Rally from Copenhagen to Monaco is about to begin. Each year the famous 3000 mile road trip attracts an international array of ‘stars and cars’ to participate in a once in a lifetime adventure.
The exclusive 100 car entry grid is packed with the most incredible array of customised, concept, electric, luxurious, sports and hyper cars that you will ever see together. Baywatch icon David ‘The Hoff’ Hasselhoff, will line up on the entry grid in the beautiful city of Copenhagen alongside hip hop superstar Eve, Cypress Hill’s DJ Muggs, rapper Bun B, ‘Pimp My Ride’ host Xzibit, skateboard legend Tony Hawk, MTV’s Finnish pranksters ‘The Dudesons’, Olympic skiers Jon Olsson and Jens Byggmark, MMA fighter Rubert Burneika, along with Sheikhs, Princes, reality TV stars, and Fortune 500 CEOs. Driving everything from a Bugatti, to Koenigsegg, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Morgan, Bentley, Rolls Royce, McLaren, Twisted Land Rovers, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar and more – if you like cars, you’ll love Gumball 3000.
New for the 2013 road trip is the Gumball 3000 Foundation, a non-profit charitable trust that strives to provide opportunities, optimism and ambition for future generations. This year Gumballers will be competing to raise the most money to get pole position on the starting grid. Furthermore, Gumball 3000 in association with Christie’s will be hosting an auction for unique ‘money can’t buy’ lots at each overnight stop. All proceeds raised from the auctions will go to the Gumball 3000 Foundation.
Wherever you are, stop what you’re doing and come along to see your favourite ‘stars and cars’ roll into a town near you.
We are big fans here at Shinesquad having participated a number of times.
Happy anniversary Gumball 3000!
Live coverage will be streamed daily on Gumball3000.com through YouTube Live Hangouts.
