Lonman is not participating in this years rally

Wednesday, April 26th, 2006

Announced by Mr. Lonman himself:

I’m not doing this years rally (too much work commitments and band from driving in most of the European countries and the US period!! Something about speeding on the 2002 & 2003 Gumballs) but will at the pre-start parties and film.

I will definately be doing next years rally…..wherever it may be.

Sad to hear, but let’s hope we see him back in the next Gumball 3000 rally!
