Does anybody know where in Madrid are the Gumball participants going to stop? I thing they will pass through Madrid tomorrow, isn't it? Thanks.
I have heared about and the organizer is her on the board. Try it with the search button, sorry can`t remember excatly the date....but it was for sure mentioned Spain/Madrid!
I know is Thursday, but Madrid is too big, unless we know where and at what time we could see something is going to be rather difficult to find them. I did a search, all I know is that they will pass tomorrow but the intenerary and times were kept secret... obviously!!! But I was hoping somebody would had heared something from a participant. I did see a couple of 348s together with foreign plates today, but I doubt they were from the Gumball. Oh well!!! - Julio.
The Gumball starts may 4th in Paris so they should be in Madrid the 5th (the first stop is in Biarritz) check it out http://www.gumball3000.com/new/launch.htm They also have a stop at the Barcelona F1 GP
Maybe some participants did some test laps in Madrid, just for practice and to find out which tires they should use
WOOOOOOOOOOOOW ,thats an awesome great web-site!!!!!! How the hell have they done this site???? I love the animation, clicks, buttons....just everything! thanks for the link; I`m highly amazed!
I am just told that the company I am working for is 'sponsoring' a car in this particular 'tour'. No Ferrari though BTW, I know know were are they going to stop in Madrid, if somebody wants to know it, send me a PM!!! - Julio
For those who want to see the Gumball cars in Madrid before they depart to Marbella, they will be in front of the Real Madrid football stadium next Thursday 6th from 7AM till 12 PM. - Julio.
When are they going to be at the GP? I can't deal with that silly web site. Too gimmicky. I guess I'm getting old.
They don't say it. This is all I have about Barcelona: BARCELONA GRAND PRIX at the Circuit de Catalunya. We have our own Gumball Grandstand for all 400 VIP Gumballers. Have lunch whilst watching the Spanish Grand Prix. After the race finishes drive into Barcelona city to the Rey Juan Carlos Hotel. Arrive at the hotel at approx 6-7PM Hotel Rey Juan Carlos 1 AV Diagonal 661-671 08028 Barcelona Spain +34 93 364 40 55 +34 93 364 40 82 Dinner at 9:30PM Party til late!
I´ll be at the Bernabeu Stadium tomorrow at 11:30 am. I got invited for breakfast with the Gumballers. If allowd I will take photos, hopefully they will allow it. ' Julio
Gumball news and some early pics in Paris on this site http://www.gumball2004.com/ It's from a UK F-Chatter (username "Gumball3000") who participates in the rally with a F355 Spider... This is a nice site too... http://www.torquenstein.net/theGumball3000.shtml
Here are also some pics of the Gumball http://pictures.hansblomme.com/albums/Gumball+3000+'04.aspx?page=1 http://www.desnelders.be/speedcontrol/gallery/gumball http://www.scooterrace.be/start.Asp?id=99 (Select year + event)
Here, some photos of the Gumball that I took today at the Bernabeu, including an ENZO!!! Unffortunatelly by the time I arrived most of the F cars already passed. I have many more, I will post them later.
Wow, thank you Julio for sharing the photos and impression of the Gumball 3000 with us. please post as much as possible pics from the crazy Gumballers!!!
Julio, THANKS....excellent photos! You know, I've just realised that I have NEVER seen an Enzo in the flesh! Only pictures! I will have to make a plan to see one soon.... Cheers, MARK
Being born at the beginning of the 1960's I really LOVE the Jaguar e-Type and feel sorry for the car in the photo. That car deserves to be treated with more respect!! It will be destroyed on this so-called "rally"....sad. Cheers, MARK
