Gumball 2005

Supermodel Caprice Bourret is back in the Gumball 3000. In 2005 she took part in a Porsche 996 Turbo as team number 2 together with one of her best friends Pepa of Hip Hop band Salt-n-Pepa. We don’t think she’s driving herself this year as in August 2006 she was sentenced with a 1 year driving ban for drink-driving. If she undertook a drink-drive rehabilitation course her ban would be shortened to nine months but even then it’s not in time for this years Gumball 3000. Remarkable detail: celebrity solicitor Nick Freeman also known as mr Loophole, for the great number of motoring related cases he won with the loopholes he found, wasn’t able to help Caprice. The good thing about not driving yourself in the Gumball is that you can party and drink as much as you want! Read the latest interview with her here.

We’ve just added a 2005 and 2006 video page to the Ant and Pete page. See more pages of Featured Gumballers on our Gumballers page!

Although GT3000 is not doing the Gumball 3000 this year we got some great news! First of all PCP made a Best of Gumball 2005 video (Right click, save as) containing some unreleased footage and many 2006 Gumballers like Alex Roy, Team 3ezer and Ant and Pete.

But even better is the news that GT3000 plans to be back at the start of the Gumball 3000 next year with a car Gumball failed to deliver this year… GT3000 plans to bring a Bugatti Veyron to the startline next year!

Final video of GT3000 in Gumball 2005. Both the Porsche GT3 and Porsche GT2 of GT3000 heading towards the finishline in Monaco filmed from inside the Porsche GT2 with number 68. We can conclude GT3000 brought us some of the best Gumball 2005 footage. To bad they won’t be at the startline this year.

Gumball 3000 have the respect and fame all around the world, where the drivers were driving by. This happened in Hungary as well, although it was not the only reason why it was interested for us. On the entry list there was a name Mark Muss, who as the name tells us not Hungarian, he is Scottish; however, he’s been living in Hungary for the past ten years now. After his arrival with his Lotus Esprit S4, he told us as an insider about the Gumball 3000 Rally 2005.
