The Gumball 3000 rally of 2014 is behind us and so is the route for next year released. And that has a Dutch touch.

The race in which the participants in 6 days, approximately 3000 miles, starting next year in Stockholm and Oslo and Copenhagen to Amsterdam. There, the 100 supercars, the aircraft pressed and then in the USA from San Francisco via Los Angeles to Las Vegas drive.

In 2007 and 2010, the rally also Amsterdam, and the participants were able to immediately meet with the AGENCY. These were the cars at the border waiting for it. With flitsapparatuur to understand.

The Gumball 3000 is traditionally only on public roads, and will just like previous years, again be ridden by special automobiles and their sometimes equally eccentric directors. To join costs about a half a ton of euros. The event attracts more than a million visitors and kluistert every year to 60 million households on the tube or live stream.

The name ‘Gumball’ comes from the American artist Andy Warhol that it wanted to describe how the audience in popular culture chewed and the uitspuugde as if the gum was. That is the feeling that the rally should also calls. A special lifestyle-race so that fixed and it was worth it.

UPDATE: The route as is now known, has less than 2000 miles. It is likely that the route leading up to the event expanded.
