Start was in front of the Eiffel Tower, on the right Seine bank.

Gumball 3000 was the subject of an article in the Times today which was fairly neutral.

Long time since I've been on here! Hello all, hope you're well.

A lot of people are turning against the Gumball rally, as it's gone from the glorious "good old days" into a new age of stupidly rich loud mouth gits who just pay their way out of trouble, and spend the whole time driving at ridiculous speeds for the sake of it. I still think it's a fantastic event though, and the massive interest in the event must prove that it's worth doing. And it's a fantastic thing to see that Shelby GT500e show up on the start line :D

Rock on

Hi Guys......Yes the rally was the most awsome thing I have ever done ever.........
new age of stupidly rich loud mouth gits who just pay their way out of trouble, and spend the whole time driving at ridiculous speeds for the sake of it.
Yes I cannot deny that there was a few people who were stupid but there was 180+ cars and most of them were there to enjoy the rally, please do not tar them with that brush!!!!
The RS4 performed fantastic with 4 people and bags.....Big thanks to Kim Collins and Milltek for helping to get the car done up before the rally
