GUMBELL 3000

The Gumball 3000 is an annual British 3,000-mile (4,800 km) international celebrity motor rally which takes place on public roads. It was started in 1999 by Maximillion Cooper,^[1] with the idea to combine cars, music, fashion and entertainment.^[2]

The Gumball 3000 has received criticism. Two pensioners died in an accident in Macedonia in 2007 after their car was hit by a Gumball rally driver.^[3][4] Participants have been stopped for speeding, have had their driving licences taken by police, and had their cars confiscated.^[5]
