Well I never looked deeply into it, but IMO, of course Cannonball is the name of the movie (1981) wich inspired the rallys we see today ... and the movie itself was inspired by a real rally existing back in those days, am I wrong? then no idea what happened in the late 80s, early 90s.. then the Gumball 3000 was born and this incarnation of the Cannonball rally is not the original thing but a spin off... LOL what a mess
