Tangospeed White retires
Because of the fatal accident in Gumball 2007, Team Tangospeed White will not continue rallying this season for the planned event of Top Run.
We will respect the memories of the innocent lifes lost during Gumball and will retire for now.
Our sympathies go to the close ones of the deceased.

Team Tangospeed dodges the bullet...
Team Tangospeed (Cars 17 and 20) and Mr. Abramov (Car 007, Porsche GT) made the right choice by NOT going through the roadtolls like all the others..
Teams that went through the roadtolls received a nice 500EUR fine for "participating to an illegal roadrace".
And also an update from Team 8888888 that got their Lambo impounded back in France.
Joakim and Lars are back in the game in no time, this time they will be driving a Porsche.
More details tomorrow.

Boys get a "get out of jail"-card :)
All the 6 cars that were stopped, including Team Tangospeed's both cars, near the city of Condom (I know :D) were released just a while ago with only 90EUR fine and a FINAL warning.
If the teams do as much as 5km/h over the limit their cars will be impounded at that moment.
Police also had a little message for the black LP640: "If we catch you, you're going straight to jail" :)
Apparently he hasn't slowed down for any of the roadblocks :)
stay tuned.. |

Most of the Carbon Black teams have been caught by the police on the A62.
A series of roadblocks and helicopters have been reported.
Anyone with racing-stickers in their car has been pulled over.
Few lucky teams managed to change the route before the roadblocks.
Most of the teams are on their way to the policestation in a police escort which is
doing 160km/h. :D

Lost in desert....
After a few hours of Heli-filming, the heli dropped Hece to the desert by the Interstate, where he should be picked up by the rest of the support crew.
Unfortunately the support guys had already gone way ahead, so Hece was left in the desert, frying.
Thank god swedish Team 8888888 picked him up!
After 80km of driving with a Lambo Murcielago with 3 guys in it they left the death valley and are now 200km before LA.

Just arrived to casino heaven. Travelling with hummer is not too fast :) it sucks everything in the tank in few minutes and it doesnt go over 110mph :D well it was fun drive and the scenerys are awesome ! Gumballers will have some major problems with traffic here... Hard sholdering will occur... "Use the Gumball-lane"
Only in america, did you know if you get rental here and external navigation system, their external navigation uses cigarette lighter adapter for power, most of the cars are non-smoking so of course the cigarette lighter outlet doesnt work so people cant smoke there ?!?!?? WTF !!! yes, you guessed right we got lost, many times :D
