My brother and his friend where lucky enough to go on the Gumball trip 8 days around the world. It cost 60gs to enter. I actually flew out to LA for the finish. The cars that went on the rally where amazing. I was lucky enough to be able to go to the final party at the Playboy Mansion 
.
Here is a good site for pictures and video of the rally. Plus shows pics of the Viper, Rolls and Lambo that crashed on the rally.
