Thanks Iwan for the link, I started reading the diary

Is somebody able to guess the camera car in the NS video? ( http://www.gt3000.com/videos/ns.mpg )... in the pics you can see their red Mk II GT3 and a gorgeous red GT2, but the sound of the camera car is definitely not Gt2 material and the fact it can't keep up with the GT3 on the straights is another detail.. still it is red.. it seems to have some sort of Ferrari note in the deep part of the rev range but the end of the scale is missing the high pitched note of a Ferrari V8.. could be another GT3 but not sure about the note again

review on TV where the organizer (Maximilion Cooper) said that the Gumball Rallye would never come back to Spain again


Yep, it seems they had a lot of trouble in Spain with the police and because of the stickers, that aren't allowed in Spain!

Why is that? The car is yours.. if you want to put it stickers, why can't you?

They're planning to go through Belgium this year. Looking at the next stop, they will be driving pretty close past my place. So I'll be ready to shoot some pics and maybe some vids. I hope our government won't be a spoil-sport. Our stupid minister of transport and mobility already stated he will try to forbid the rally from going through our country. *grrrrrrr* I want to take pics of lots of exotics, stupid moron!!
But the good news is I didn't hear anything anymore about him blocking the Gumball. It probably isn't legal to forbid it, since the Gumball organisers officially don't encourage speeding.


Anyway, that's a nice site with some good vids and pics. Thanks Iwan!

I'm going with a 360, it seems to me it hits the revs high enough and it down shifts really fast which makes me think it's got the F1 tranny in it.

Thanks for the link! Some great pictures/videos!

Well, they answered my question over at gt3000 and well I would have never guessed the camera car, really

Hi Matteo,

thank you for your kind email
Fortunately you guys like the site.
We had never experienced such an insane feedback.

In regard to your question:
The camera car in the Nordschleifen-Video is a 360 Challenge Stradale.

I hope that this makes sense.

Best regards
GT3000 Team

P.S. I know your site very well. Keep up with the good pictures!

It says that they were using a 360 CS in the 2005 rally tab
