Hey guys,

Here's a video of me chasing some Gumballers last weekend.
Driver : me
Co-pilot : a friend
Cars chased : 997 Turbo, 997 Turbo Techart, 996 Turbo S and a Z4 M Coupe
We had lots of fun.
We talked to the guys in the 996 Turbo S.
Apparently they were from Dubai.
Nice guys.
Later that evening we also got interviewed by a couple of British guys from MTV UK who joined Gumball 3000 2007.
So who knows ...
We also saw a nice CLK DTM burning some rubber.

Enjoy the video I made.

Yes, I had to use nightvision.
In all fairness, we didn't drive like maniacs.
Just a fun pursuit.

Bad news guys.

The TechArt you can see in my pursuit video, hit a car and because of the accident the driver of the car that got hit was killed and his wife is in critical condition.

The Gumball Rally is cancelled.

Issued by Maximillion Cooper on behalf of The Gumball 3000 Rally - 21.30 / 03 May 2007



Following our earlier release reporting yesterday's accident - As a sign of respect we have decided that this year's Gumball 3000 Rally will not travel any further and will end in Bratislava this evening, May 3rd 2007.

As the organisers of the rally we feel that it should be stopped as a mark of respect to Vladimir Cepulyoski who died today after an accident involving one the participating drivers.

We are very saddened by what has happened and feel that it would be wrong to continue. On behalf of Gumball 3000, we once again extend our deepest sympathies to his family and we are doing everything we can for them.

This is the first time anything like this has happened in 9 years of travelling through over 40 countries with 1000's of drivers and it is with deep regret that I make this announcement.
