ОТО (SKI.BG) -- Gumball 2011-та вече е реалност. Изключително бляскавите луксозни автомобили, заедно с техните знаменити шофьори - холивудски звезди, музиканти и изпълнители от световно ниво, арабски шейхове и мега милионери, се движат по своя маршрут от Лондон през София до Истанбул и след като стигнаха до Париж в първия ден, след втория вече са в Барселона. В пълния с живот испански град снощи всички участници бяха гости на уникално лайв парти на френския крал на хаус и денс електронната музика David Guetta.

Супер скиорите Йон Олсон и Боде Милър, чието участие в ралито Gumball 3000 следим изкъсо тази година, обаче малко закъсняха за хаус партито. Но те имаха доста уважителна причина. Насред пътя, малко след потеглянето им за Барселона, на една крайпътна бензиностанция южно от Париж, "нашите" гъмболери бяха догонени от Tokan, който докара "старото" Ламбо на Йон.

Буквално за броени минути червения "изтребител" Lamborghini LP 670-4 SV беше облепен с рекламните надписи на ралито и Йон (с Ламбо-то) и Боде (с Нисана) отново излязоха на пътя със 7 часа закъснение от старта в Париж, и определено полетяха с бясна скорост към Барселона :) Все пак, до началото на партито с David Guetta имаха едва няколко часа, а им оставаха само 800 километра...

Super fast Gumball wrapping of the LP 670! Tokan, going on his 32nd hour of the day!  (with 1000km in the 670 to go!) (after not sleeping for a month during the Rebellion build, do I need to say that he was the hero of the day, week and year??? THANK YOU TOKAN!

PS. Gumball is not about making you life easy, its about going all in and not thinking about tomorrow, good thing that is kind of my speciality! (Bode does add a lot of intensity though. That man is amazingly insane!  )

All in right now, deal with problems later"!
