So how’d it go? Give us the Maximillion overview.

Maximillion Cooper: The police estimated half a million people attended the start in London, and over a million people attended the check-point in Belgrade, which was the biggest that we’d ever had. That’s ten times more people than attend to the Super Bowl!

So how did the rally go? No major accidents?

Maximillion Cooper: Two cars had accidents, but nobody got hurt and they all carried on in the rally, so that was great. The first one was an accident in Serbia with the Rolls Royce. It hit a barrier and slid a few hundred meters, but they didn’t even spill their cup of coffee. Of course, when you consider it’s a half-million dollar car, it’s a bit sad, but we’re very happy no one got hurt. The other crash involved a Lamborghini Gallardo roadster in Thailand. They were on these windy roads through the rainforest, and they took off on one of the humpback bridges and ended up driving off the road and chopping down a little tree. But again, they were very lucky and walked away with no injuries.
