To win gumball thats what you need so no refuelling every 100 miles

here are my pics

couldn't believe how many people were there all along pall mall where the starting gate was



and then around the corner up St James St



and all the way up St James St where a supercar traffic jam started building up



cheeky, cheeky that surely ain't gonna finish



goldie looking chain in the modified bedford rascal




westwood in his pimped ride



totty shot



the best sounding supercar there



this guy wasn't shy either



so many pussies that couldn't drive, had traction control, or automatic/semi-automatic gearboxes and couldn't manage a burnout though

Our survey says

"Uhh Unn!"

Its $40K this year because of the flights involved. Back to circa 10 next year. Less if you've participated before. Heard a rumour that Kenworthy will be back next year

Theres actually 2 cars which are wrapped like that on the event. When the first car got stuck in traffic, someone asked "Did McLaren paint it like that for you?"

Car 20



Car 21
