Seeing as my crappy work computer won't let me see any Flash sites, I can't look at the official website, but what's the deal with the Gumball Rally?
How do you get to do it? Anyone done it? How long does it take?

Think you need a fast car and deep pockets - then when your there you'll need a really fast car and very deep pockets for all the fines. Wearing a short skirt might help you in that department, providing you don't have Queen Anne legs

Do you need to be in a team?
Is it the sort of thing you'd buy a car specially for (i.e. not take your brand new pride and joy?)
ME WANNA DO IT!

It's basically an excuse for rediculously rich twats to scream across Europe (not that I have a problem with that) flaunting the law as they go.
The problem I have is that a lot of it seems downright dangerous - arsing about on motorways and empty back roads, I can handle - but the f##king about in city centres is what gets me.
Plus most of them can't drive for sh*t.
Still, different strokes......

Agree with Shug, bunch of uber rich twats acting like uber rich twats in cars only uber rich twats can afford.
Sassy, if you can afford this;
As we have done in past years, as loyal past Gumballers you will recieve a discount of 20% with the total entry fee being £30,000 to you (based on 2 persons per car); and £40,000 to new participants.
Seriously! Gies some o' yer money!
I missed out on the TRS euro trip last year but hopefully we will be doing another next year for my own mini gumball adventure (on a budget)

http://www.rallytrek.com if you are a total ned and want to hang about with neds doing spastic things.
If however, you are an upstanding pillar of community, who wants to do 3 or 4 amazing trackdays and have a decent jaunt all over france, whilst getting quite drunk with a good punch of people, then go to :

if you wanna mess around with kids doing stupid things on the road, and getting chucked out of every dingy watering hole in europe, then go on your silly rallytreck.
i however, will be on French Frolic Five. FF5 for short. its a frolic for christ sake, whereas yours is a rally. obvioulsy mines is better than yours
