i dont think the participants are actually DRIVING thru N. Korea, but they're being allowed in as "guests of the N. Korean government..."

Good luck.

[jackjack]

whoa.............................. thats heavy.

[ThatGuy]

Too many people with too much money driving too fast on public roads.

I thought they canceled the US legs after people got killed last year?

I can appreciate the actual driving their cars that they love. I just don't appreciate the way they act like jackasses just because their rich and do such things.

i agree. must admit, the cars are dope. the owners are dopes. they do have big balls, not to mention unlimited bank accounts...i think it costs almost $100K in entry fees alone!

[LB.Motoring]

No, its like roughly 30 Thousand$ (28k if I remember right, with conversions etc.)

this trip might be a little more though....

One free passanger, then after that.


passangers are like an extra 5 or 10k though lol.

"Oh, and the price for next year's rally has ballooned to £60,000 (£50,000 for Gumballers) -- $120,000?" --jalopnik.com

not saying jalopnik is the final word, but gumball's website hasnt updated to current 2008 numbers yet...

[jackjack]

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

that would be sweet as hell though.

Normal people street racing = dumb as shit

Rich people street racing = cool as shit

Yea, that makes sense. I've never been a fan.

Couldn't agree more.

People driving like idiots on public roads = FUCKING STUPID

No matter how much money they have or what kind of celebrity they are.

once again, agree. but all COMMON SENSE aside, must admit these 'gumballers' are pretty crazy...

[240trainee]

I want one of those posters, lol.

[SlideWell]

tony hawk wtf, lol cool. now that kid ram...you can COUNT on him doin some dumb shit.

[CAPTAINNEO]

now that fidel has stepped down, maybe they can re-route from US to Cuba to North Korea.
Good times.

[jackjack]

^re-route to cuba? damn...... ahhahahahaha

[B18C5MK1]

gumball is weak. why dont they just take it to the track? wait, i know. because people at the track arent going to care how exotic the car looks or how much you spent on it.

now on the other hand, for LEGAL long distance racing... paris-dakkar is where its at.

[unwed_transient]

now on the other hand, for LEGAL long distance racing... paris-dakkar is where its at.

gumball is meh at best.

[status:one]

next it will be Iraq.

[C. Senor]

i'll admit that some of them are douches and they do some really stupid things...but damn it if it isnt entertaining to watch....i've seen the last 5 and i believe i'll watch this one too.
