2006 Gumball 3000 – They Are Off and Running!

Photos will come soon, but the event has kicked off from London onto their first checkpoint in France… here’s a few quick items of interest to note from the start of the race.

  • Team Polizei Arrived first at the Chunnel after starting 5th on the Grid
  • Black Mercedes SLR gets nailed for 132mph right before the Chunnel
  • Team Polizei gains advantage by being the only team with VIP passes for the Chunnel, putting them at least 15 miles ahead of the competition
  • Update:

  • Team Polizei is still in first place, 34 miles from the Chateau Beloeil Checkpoint, with ETA to checkpoint at 9:06pm Local Time
  • Again, this is just a quick bit of news we’ve received from the other side of the pond. Photos and will follow at a later time. For now, we’ve found a video of the starting grid @
