Default Gumball 3000 starts today~

The crazy Gumball 3000 Rally starts in about 90min. in London at the Pall Mall.

As reported the Gumball 3000 Rally is going over 8 days and three continents this year.
Today they start in London at Pall Mall. Start is between 16:00 and 18:00 local time. The 120 cars are heading to a midnight checkpoint in Belgium via the Eurotunnel. They drive then through the night to reach Vienna in the morning.

The Gumball site has live video coverage. http://live.gumball3000.com/

Among the celebrities racing this year are apparently Pink, Tony Hawk, Johnny Knoxville, Adrien Brody and Snoop Dogg.
There is already some pre-race coverage online worth watching.
Like last year ALK Technologies is again providing GPS navigation for the drivers. Alk also hosts again a live tracking of the Gumball 3000 race cars. This actually a great tool for local police. I guess they know about it by now.
