The 14th of may the annual Gumball 3000 rally started in London. I drove to the first checkpoint, chateau d’Acoz with a friend to catch a glimps of the gumballers. There was an insane amount of people there, Gumball has become a popular media event. The seventh race started at Trafalgar Square on May 14, 2005. It went 3000 miles from London to Brussels, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, and then to Dubrovnik in Croatia. The cars were then transported by ferry to Bari, in Italy, then lapped the old Targa Florio circuit in Sicily, before heading north to Rome, and finally crossed the finish line in the Monaco’s Casino Square prior to the F1 Grand Prix. Participants included Gumball veterans, skater Rob Dydrek, rock stars and supermodels driving everything from the Dukes of Hazzard General Lee to Carrera GTs. My brother who lives in the UK went to London to see the start of the rally: the photos
