well they have had close calls before....and now its gone over the edge. the fact these two then tried to escape is just sick...fucking cowards.
the numerous crashes i have seen have been lucky, only resulting in a damaged ego.
the guy with the white 355 spider with loony on the number plate...flipped it in ukrain or where ever, the lambo on last years gumball hit a tree, camo phantom hit a guard rail, 2 gumballs ago the dude with the reyland cossie stuffed it in the morrocan desert, roll cage saved him, tourquenstein got unlucky when he hit a bump at 150 and he pretty much split his viper in half, same rally 2 360's crashed out one hit a tractor and off into the bushes
that is always the problem in these 3rd worlder countries... the gumballers come steaming in with little regard for the natives, they take advantage of the lax road laws and law enforcement...and this shit happens. you could see it on the moroccan one....driving the wrong way down dual carraige ways, overtaking on the hardshoulder, heck overtaking on the damn pavement and dusty walk ways next to roads. (kim schimdt drove down the promenade in monte carlo just to beat ant n pete to the finish, infact those 3 battled for the lead alot of the way pulling some simply ludicrous stunts)
its about time it happened to be honest...they really needed to get the participants attitudes in check. max always always says that its not a race its a rally.
but put a bunch of petrol headed, big ego'd celebs in flash cars and your going to get a race no matter what. they need to start screening the entries lol! or putting GPS trackers in all the cars.
i have watched gumball nearly from the start...the influx of big money celebs and going farther afield has only made these crashes more frequent.
I like the idea of good old fashioned rally, but gumball is a joke. Never liked it because of the people who drive in it. And well, this thread sums up perfectly why.
i remember when it was just a bunch of nobody's....rich nobody's mind, but unknowns non the less. it was cool then
now its very chintzy and very tacky, all the celebs turn up trying to out do each other with daft paint jobs and gimmicks.

Another big crash today. A Carrera GT also crashed. End it, Cooper, NOW!
hasnt a ford GT crashed too?
wow, glad to see alex roy speaking in actions rather than words.... i always liked him, he is one of the gumballer from the earlier days, he knows what its about, and hes a successful man...deservedly so too (he was successful before gumball) and he's also one of gumballs most notable participants (he helps people out, has a lot of fun, drives within his limits, preps his car well and usually doesnt do idiotic stuff)
to have him, almost a poster child for gumball, withdraw is a bit of blow...he's got the right attitude for sure.
