How much does it cost to enter?
For new participants to the rally the cost is £28,000 (twenty eight thousand GB pounds), for Gumball Alumni the cost is £24,000 (twenty four thousand GB pounds). Additional passengers and/or co-drivers pay a fee of £12,000 GBP (twelve thousand GB pounds) per person for new Gumballers and £10,000 GBP (ten thousand GB pounds) for past participants. The entry fee for your vehicle and any additional fees for additional passengers and/or co-drivers are due and payable within dates specified by Gumball HQ. There are no discounts, Gumball does not do discounts.

How do I enter?
If you are interested in entering the rally you should complete the application form in the entry section. As there are a limited number of places on the rally each year, your application will then be considered by our Rally Manager. Should you be accepted on the rally, you will need to pay a 50% deposit to secure your place.
It costs how much? Why are you more expensive than similar events?
The cost of putting on a rally varies year on year. The Gumball rally is more than just a rally, and for it to be more than just a rally a lot of preparation goes towards making a memorable event for everyone taking part. It takes over a year to put on each rally, during that time research, planning and adjustments need to be made. All countries that are part of the route are visited on numerous occasions prior to the rally to seek approval, arrange events and to ensure the rally is amazing as we can make it. All hotels we book are five star, all parties are five star and the routes and scenery are priceless.
Why should I enter?
To be a part of something amazing! The spirit of the Gumball is something that can't be matched by other rallies, great parties, great routes, great hotels and great people make for one of the best weeks of the year, and your life!
How can I pay my way?
Short of selling your soul to the devil (something we at Gumball HQ wouldn't recommend, in less you're absolutely sure), your car can have up to two sponsors displayed on your car. Our Rally Manager can provide you with more information regarding this. The chosen Sponsors cannot conflict with any of our official sponsors.
I can't afford to enter, is there any other way I can be a part of the Gumball?
We are always looking for people to volunteer to help at the many events we attend throughout the year as well as each Rally. More information on opportunities with Gumball 3000 will be provided on the website as they become available, please keep checking.
How old do you have to be to enter?
For various reasons we don't accept anyone under the age of 21 as a participant in the Rally. This is a firm rule we do not break. However if you are under the age of 21, we'd love to see you at our events. When you're 21 or over, we'd love to consider you as a participant.


Where does the rally start?
The 2007 Gumball Rally will start in Pall Mall London on Sunday 29th of April. The cars will be on display prior to the start in Pall Mall as we have done in 2005 and 2006.


What is the route?
The 2007 Gumball Rally will be going from London to London. The cars will depart London on the 29th of April 2007; from there they will drive to Frankfurt via a stop in Amsterdam. We will load all of the cars, and their drivers onto planes and fly them to Istanbul. Once unloaded in Istanbul the cars will go for a quick blast around the F1 circuit. The next day will see everyone head onto Athens via a short stop in Thessolaniki. From Athens we'll head up to Dubrovnik and Vienna. The penultimate stage will see everyone drive through the Alps and Germany to Berlin. From Berlin the final stage will be take everyone back to the London and a massive party!


I would like to enter on a bike, can I?
No. We have our reasons. The main one to ensure the safety of all our participants.


Can I have personal sponsors?
Yes. We permit two personal sponsors per car. However they must not conflict with our title sponsors, this means they cannot be any of the following:

Drinks or drinks manufacturers, this includes alcohol.

Sat Nav

Clothing

Poker or online gaming

Tobacco

Gumball 2007 Route:

28th April 2007: Launch party at the Trocadero. The street in front is closed, red carpet, supercars on display etc. This is pretty close to Leicester square, so there should be a lot of people.

29th April 2007: 12 Midday all cars in position on Pall Mall for car display, 4pm rally start! Big Gantry on Pall Mall, similar position as last year but much bigger and better! Onto France via Eurotunnel, Belgium, and Amsterdam! Where the cars park up at the ‘Waterlooplein’ in the centre of Amsterdam, and as you may already know it is Queens day, so a lot of people partying in the streets! Amsterdam is a checkpoint, so the teams park up, pick up their next route card, drink and back on their way.

30th April 2007: From Amsterdam to Frankfurt to Istanbul (obviously no sleep yet), the teams drive to a secret airport in Frankfurt where a select few of the Gumball crew will drive all of the cars onto the 2 Antanov airplanes, it will be a very tight fit! About a 4 hour flight to Istanbul, where they land on the asian side, unload, Now the cars will be escorted through the city of Istanbul, thru the most famous street in the city! The teams will finally arrive at the Kempinski Ciragan Palace where they stay for the night, that night will have a James Bond Party probably at the Reina Club!

1st May 2007: From Istanbul to Thessaloniki to Athens. After leaving Istanbul and picking up their next route card the teams head to Thessaloniki where they will have a checkpoint. From Thessaloniki the final leg of the day will bring them to Athens where drivers stay at the Hilton. The Gumball cars will be on display at the Zappio, which is a crazy location a short journey from the hotel. At night there’s a White Party on the Top Floor of the Hilton hotel.

2nd May 2007: From Athens to Tirana. The Gumballers leave Athens first thing in the morning for Tirana in Albania!

3rd May 2007: From Tirana to Dubrovnik to Bratislava. This will be another exhausting day. Travelling through 7 countries: Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria and Slovakia! Leaving Tirana as always first thing in the morning for Dubrovnik. Dubrovnik will be the lunch checkpoint for the day. So the drivers can have a bite to eat, inspect their new route cards and on to Bratislava! In Bratislava the Gumballers are staying in the Raddisson SAS hotel and for the fans there will be a display on Hviezdoslavovo square.

4th May 2007: From Bratislava to Prague to Berlin. The Gumballers will leave Bratislava for a checkpoint in Prague. From Prague the drivers can enjoy the German autobahn on their way to the final checkpoint of the day in Berlin. In Berlin the Gumball 3000 pack stays in the Regent Hotel. Berlin makes a good place for a party especially on a friday night.

5th May 2007: From Berlin to London. From Berlin the cars head for home! The final day’s journey takes them through Holland, Belgium, France and back to Great Britain. Crossing the channel with the Eurotunnel they will be back in London to finish at Whitehall Place and they get ready to celebrate the final party!
