I am a student, so i can go wooooooooooooooooooooooo.

do teams have to be 100% students or can alumni do it? hmm.

The team vehicle must not have an engine size above 2.0 litres. Any team wishing to enter a vehicle over 2.0 litres will have to be approved by the Student Gumball team on a case by case basis to ensure that all the cars entered are in keeping with the spirit of the rally.

Gonna love watching plenty of Corsas entering with engine blowouts on the autobahn

was expecting this to be what it was about

actually looks like a pretty good setup, the student gumball i mean, think i'm more likely to do it next year than this though, says you can do it within two years of graduating

*Wonders if he could enter in an RX8 as it's technically only a 1.3*

Unless it's an import, i think i remember DreXeL saying his was a 1.3 on the V5 because it's an import.

Each team must consist of a minimum of 2 persons and a maximum of 5 persons of which at least 2 members must be in full time university or college education OR have graduated in the last 2 years. All entrants must be over 18.

It is still only 2x654cc or something. The 2.6 on V5 is rubbish.

I would like enter a porsche into the rally and I was wondering if this would be ok?

No No No. This event is about students driving student cars and so no sports cars allowed. If you are unsure about whether you can enter your vehicle then contact a member of the Student Gumball team.

Would they class my car as a sports car do you think?
