MIAMI | ATLANTA | NEW YORK | EDINBURGH | LONDON | BARCELONA | IBIZA
In the infamous words of Tinnie Tempah, next years Gumball will take you from Miami to Ibiza! Gumball 2014 will see the return of another ambitious transatlantic adventure.
Participants will travel from Miami through Atlanta and New York
before loading up on to a plane and transferring to Edinburgh.
The route will then travel south through London to Barcelona and on to the island of Ibiza !
Highlights will include VIP treatment at the New York Formula 1 event.
Gumball HQ tells us that they will travel through the highlands although,
we suspect this is marketing puff as it would require a drive north of Edinburgh.
After a few years without the cargo planes and multiple continents,
Gumball is finally returning to planes, trains, boats and automobiles!
Only 50 places are guaranteed for previous participants this year
at a cost of £40,000 based on two sharing a single vehicle.
It will take place during the first week of June,
subject to Formula 1 scheduling.
REBELLION R2k
Jon Olsson has recently put up his R2K for sale at a pretty reasonable price of €500,000.
The car Jon used in the 2013 15th anniversary Gumball 3000 rally
is known as the Rebellion R2K which is based on a highly modified Ultima GTR chassis
with a Lamborghini Gallardo engine and gearbox
and Ohlins suspension – an expensive and highly unique
set up finished with infamous ADV1 wheels.
The car weighs an approximate 1050 KG with around 1,000 HP
giving it an almost identical 1:1 BHP/tonne ratio of around 970.
Of course that wasn’t special enough so they fitted it
with a Le Mans style body kit that suited the creation perfectly.
