:: GUMBALL 3000 BLOG ::

Dear Gumballers,Looking at the countdown timer on the Gumball website it is showing only 30 Days to go!! From this end at Gumball HQ everything is going well. This truly global Gumball is going to be huge not only at the start in London where we are expecting even more fans than last year but all the way through. CNN covering the whole event! Bam with his Lamborghini which has had an incident with a chainsaw and Tony Hawk are 100% confirmed, as is Snoop Dogg for the party at the hard Rock in Las Vegas. Expect to see many other well known faces at various stops and parties along the route!! You will have seen a number of emails coming your way in the last week regarding insurance and the documentation needed for customs etc. Daunting though it may look, it is essential that all of the documentation is provided within the timelines outlined to ensure that everything is ready in time.

A REMINDER ABOUT STICKERS
We have tied in Raccoon for the second year running to become “Official Branders of the Gumball 3000″. They have been doing a fantastic job doing bespoke full wraps. Click on the link below to find out about the car wraps, your personal sponsors stickers and how to stop the Arizonian desert sand stripping all the paint from your front bumper. From now on they are taking full control. http://www.vanwraps.co.uk/gumball.html(Remember that you are only allowed to have two personal sponsors on your car. You must check with us first to ensure that they are not conflicting with our official sponsors)

PASSPORT SCANS
Still waiting for a number of you to send an email scan of your passport. We need these by 7th April at the latest.
