Team Polizei driving to Athens
Gumball 2007, Gumball 3000, Gumball 3000 News, Gumballers — By Des on May 1, 2007 at 11:45 pm — 8 CommentsWe just got a message from Team Polizei, together with Team Aytac and Turkish Taxi are they the only ones on the road to Athens at the moment. The other Gumballers are flying to Athens where their cars are waiting for them. You can follow Team Aytac, Team Polizei (Team 15 on the tracker!) and Turkish Taxi on the live tracker!
Team Polizei Update:
Team Polizei reject air travel for Gumball. Polizei declares air travel boring and outmoded. Skips flight to Athens, is now sole team driving from Istanbul. Alex Roy deputizes Jarod Deanda and Andy “Fly” Tipping in a Volkswagen Sharan (Team #15 on the tracker) and is now moving towards Athens. Team Turkish Taxi somewhere in the vicinity. Polizei 144 cares not. Gumball plane is still not arrived at Istanbul airport, other Gumballers are waiting… perhaps for quite a while…
Team Aytac Update:
They are driving to Athens via Thessaloniki checkpoint with a modified Ferrari 456GT. They left Istanbul at 14:45. An hour later they entered Greece near Ipsala and are now heading towards Thessaloniki with Team Polizei (Tracker #15) in pursuit.
Update 20:43 CET:
Team Turkish Taxi just entered Greece and with their 90 km/h topspeed it will take them atleast another 8 hours before they get to Athens. Team Aytac passed the city of Thessaloniki about 45 minutes ago and is still leading towards Athens. Alex Roy, Michael Ross, Jarod Deanda and Andy “fly� Tipping are still in hot pursuit with their Volkswagen Sharan minibus.
Update 21:33 CET:
Just got a message from Alex Roy, they were delayed at the Turkey/Greece border and therefor running a bit further behind Team Aytac now.
Update 21:45 CET:
Team Aytac reports extreme traffic on the way to Larissa because of mayday. They are skipping dinner to make it in time for the white party in Athens.
Update 00:40 CET:
Team Aytac arrived at the Athens Hitlon hotel. Their car is the only Gumball 3000 car in the parking lot as all other cars are still at the airfield and Team 15 and Turkish Taxi are still on the road. Now it’s time to get ready, dress in white and party the night away!
Update 01:18 CET:
Team Polizei and Jarod Deanda and Andy “fly� Tipping are approaching Athens. Although they were driving a Volkswagen Sharan and had a big delay at the border they managed to catch up with the Ferrari 456GT of Team Aytac fairly well. Team Polizei suggests Jarod Deanda and Andy “fly� Tipping receive a Spirit of Gumball award for their actions today! Last update for today, tomorrow Team Polizei is back under their own name on the tracker. For now good night and check back here tomorrow for more news and updates!
Update 01:55 CET:

These are true Gumballers….Team Polizei is the bomb!!
i don’t get it. So some cars are in istanbul (team polizei)?
i thought the antonov brought the cars to athen
Aytac and Turkish Taxi both skipped the first stage, planning to join the rally in Istanbul.
I think Team 15 and Team Polizei must be in a shared rental car, since Team 15 are supposed to be driving a Range Rover Sport, not a VW Sharan.
The M5 interceptor is definitely in Athens.
Team Polizei is in another car (Team 15). But question remains how did the Team 15 car get to Istambul?
that’s the way it should be…It’s Gumball3000 and not Earn Aif Miles 3000
Team Polizei – The Best
Im so glad Team Polizei decided to go ahead with a challange, again last minute changes, but still, how great is Team Polizei!
Mr. Alex and Mr. Ross, great team!
“Earn AIR Miles 3000″
All right, go Team Aytac. I didn’t really think any of the teams that drove in were going to be making the party, but, of course, I was proven wrong!
