Following this years 2008 Gumball 3000 ‘around the world’ bonanza, the Gumball 3000 2009 route was announced and they have decided to put on a classic “coast to coast” road trip, driving from sea to shining sea, from the Pacific to the Atlantic, from Los Angeles to the partying capital of the world, Miami!
A white Porsche crashed in Macedonia, near the city of Struga close to the Albanian border. Some locals were injured in the crash. The driver of the Red Volkswagen in the picture died on the way to the hospital and his wife is in intensive care, in critical condition suffering from broken ribs and fluid in her lungs.

Only 3 days into the Gumball 3000 and already a minor headache from guess who?!? It appears that when the Gumballer’s ripped through Germany, they found themselves warmly welcomed by the Auto-Nazi’s in Germany. The German police had setup a series of roadblocks complete with floodlights and helicopters then handed out legal documents informing the Gumballer’s that their race was illegal and impounded the cars overnight.
Team 15 won the spirit of Gumball Award! After crashing their camouflage Rolls Royce Phantom in Belgrade they flew to Thailand and took a cab from Phuket to Bangkok. In the meantime they bought a new Rolls Royce Phantom for the US leg.

Jason Junkers (we like to refer to him as Ju-88) and his dad cracked up their Viper during the Euro leg of the Gumball. But wealthy, experimental jet-set and no trash that they are, they hopped a plane back to NYC and hopped in a Ferrari 360 to rejoin the rally when it hits Salt Lake.
Now, in its ninth year (1999-2007), the Gumball 3000 is by far the world’s largest, cult car rally created by Maximillion Cooper. With over 120 some cars and 240 some participants the Gumball 3000 appeals to the adventurer in all, regardless of status or wealth......more....
