02 Entry Fee
The entry fee for the Event is £28,000 (Twenty Eight Thousand Pounds Sterling) which is based on two (2) people per car. The entry fee for previous participants in the Gumball 3000 rally is £24,000 (Twenty Four Thousand Pounds Sterling).
The entry fee covers you plus one (1) passenger.
If you wish to have additional passengers in your vehicle the fee is £12,000 (Twelve Thousand Pounds Sterling) per additional passenger if you have not participated in the rally previously and £10,000 (Ten Thousand Pounds Sterling) if you have participated in the rally previously.
You are responsible for paying the entry fee for your vehicle plus any additional fees for any additional passengers in your vehicle or for your support vehicle.

 

yeah thats the reason they were doing it in 2CV's, they had to sell the rarri's to pay for the entry fee

 

2cv - are you thinking of the scumball rally rip off?



it would take an extra week to do it in a 2cv with a top speed of just over 50 mph

 

Rip off! Why so fucking much?

 

Cripes, Bargain !


Do that not include all the accomodation, parties etc.. ??

 

cos you gat a plane halfway round the world, propper parties etc

and to keep chavvy gypos from entering in their 2cv's

 

didnt the people who did the gumball,in the 2cv win the spirit of the gumball

and someone did it in an ice cream van one year too

 

what about that Cannonball thing?

This year they had halved the cost of the Gumball entry from £16k to £8k according to the literature I had

 

I was just about to say that. That was on the one that Martin and Lee did wasn't it?

 

think it might have been the one before

 

yes they did, top fellas they were. I stayed in touch and still see them at all the reunions and parties.

 

I thought so. They still looked like they were having fun

 

lee, was it gumball 3000 you n martin did?

just watching that on DVD at mo

 

When it was on originally I remember seeing Martin with his car in a car park saying it was quicker than an enzo to 60. never seen it again on any of the repeats
