We call it a rally, but that it is already long not more. Check here the requirements where the Gumballers need to meet during their visit to Germany.

Today is the supercarkaravaan at the Amsterdam Arena, where Gumball founder Maximillion Cooper and his well known friends for the concert of Afrojack will attend (who is travelling). The “rally” began Saturday in Stockholm, today is the trip through Germany towards the Netherlands.

You know, the same Germany that Gumballers for years doesn’t allow for with their bestickerde supercars the country to traverse. Our eastern neighbours seater didn’t have to wait for the rally. Earlier led to the seizure of the cars, and in 2010 was chosen to get the cars per trailer by Germany to transport.

This year, they have the autobahn or enter, but only under strict rules. We have a copy of the briefing in his hands, stating that Gumballers only in groups of eight are allowed to ride, uiteengehouden by an interval of a minute. In addition, there should be per group escortauto are present. Also, any form of racing or timekeeping VERBOTEN. Not to mention about the snelheidsrestrictie. Because even on the stretches of motorway where no speed limit applies, is the Gumballers are strictly forbidden to drive faster than 130 km/h. And the police knowing they will aggressively enforce.

What is that shine gave to the Gumball 3000 – don’t play with the law, and in a group on highways overstrain – is fully broken regulated. We want to make it like a rally call as 1999 began, but patjepeeërparade’ is closer to the truth. Well, maybe it will tonight in the Netherlands is still fun. Or later this week, as they make the trip to SanFran and Las Vegas down.

Do you want the Gumballers from minute to minute? As you follow the Gumball 3000 online.

UPDATE: it may be that the arrivé in the Netherlands is delayed. The German police is ALL Gumballers at the check. (via duspeed)
