Sponsorship i am thinking looking at the cars they seem to get a lot of it.

Most of the sponsors on the cars are mandatory from the organisers, you are allowed 2 small sponsor stickers of your own and they have to vet them before you're allowed iirc. How it used to be anyway :)
 
Very true but you could go a lot faster on a motorcycle getting there early and resting
 
I dont see the point in the gumball.

$55k to put a whole load of miles on your car, be sleep deprevated, fined by police, deal with other 'gumballers' poor driving and have to party with a bunch of cocky arrogant bankers.

i'd rather tour europe with some friends, save the money, have a better time and actually enjoy the sightseeing etc.
 
its £60,000 for new entrants for 2 people, and then another £20,000 per passenger

they never have motorbikes though do they?
plus this year they want to be 'carbon neutral', so if you have something 'green', you've got a greater chance of getting in..
 
Surprised it's even happening again after the huge ****up last time around.

To be honest I would've thought the £50k entrance fee was just the tip of the iceberg. I don't think you could realistic run Gumball unless £50k was a relatively inconsequential amount of money to you. You could easily spend tens of thousands on the various luxuries and temptations along the way, not to mention bribes, etc.
