Gumball 3000 set for 11th running with Los Angeles to Miami rally




The infamous Gumball Rally started this weekend, and participants gathered in the Los Angeles area for the start of the race Saturday afternoon. We caught up with several of the cars in Santa Monica this weekend, already prepped with their unique liveries and vinyl wraps. The rally will officially start at 1:00pm on Saturday at the Santa Monica pier, so if you are in the Southern California area you can head down to check out all the cars and celebrities. They eight day rally will also be stopping by Las Vegas, Sante Fe, Dallas, New Orleans, and Miami, so check the Gumball web site to see when they will be coming through your city. We've put together a small preview gallery from today, but check back for plenty more photos from the start of the rally.




Some of the cars so far....

 

 

So I take it that Puma is the Gumball's sponsor this year...

Lots of cool cars. If I had tons of disposable income this is one way I would part with it. smile.gif

 

Looks like we are missing out on all the fun.. Someday we will be able to do that!

Favorite car of all of them.

 

They just left Vegas. One guy already had a stack of tickets.

 

Damn it...this would be the funnest thing ever. Hyundai needs to sponsor me for next year and give me a tricked out Genesis Coupe to drive. Or hell I'm not picky a VIP style Genesis Sedan would do.

It would be good advertising Hyundai...please? Lol.
