Gumball 2007 - Route update #1
The route for the 2007 Gumball 3000 rally is confirmed:
London to the Middle East!
28th April to the 6th May
A rally like this has never been to that part of the world.
The cost is £24k (its £28k for new Gumballers) so £12k each.
What you get for your money? - A 7 day, 3,000 mile rally, 120 cars ranging from a Ford capri to the new Bugatti Veyrons (looks as though we may have three sign up for ‘07). 5 Star hotels at every stop, outrageous parties (we are teaming up with Ministry of Sound this year to help take care of this!), 3 major concerts and racetracks en route. We are already in talks with some of the worlds biggest music artists as we speak. You will also have to expect the now customary insane receptions en route with fans cheering you on from every bridge and street corner.
Route checkpoints: London-Paris-Venice-Dubrovnik-Thessaloniki-Istanbul-Beirut.
Thanks to SteveH for the tip!
Update: Beirut is no option for the Gumball 2007, as we know there is a war in the middle east. Click here for update #2.

what happened to:
“-Interview with Maximillion Cooper about the 2006 rally
Can you give us a sneak peak at next year?
Maximillion Cooper: Next year is probably not going to incorporate planes. We are going to put on something slightly less logistical. We are contemplating going from London to Dubai, because I think the Middle East is an interesting region–certainly from an American perspective! All my American friends are scared of it. Countries like the Arab Emirates and Bahrain, cities like Dubai are absolutely stunning, with these incredible futuristic cities. If we did that route through Europe then we’d end up going from London to Athens and that would be through about fourteen different language speaking countries. Then on to Egypt and do a checkpoint at the Pyramids and then head down the Nile. Then across Saudi Arabia that way, so we’d be thousands of miles from any of the troubles of Iraq. I think doing a desert stage would be quite cool. So anyway, it’s not confirmed yet, we’re working with the government right now. If we get the go-ahead from the Saudi governments and the royal families and the Emirates then we’ll certainly go for that one. “

Does anyone know the route through London from Pall Mall? I’d like to watch the cars somewhere else but Picadilly - too many people and the drivers can’t put their foot down
