I think he'll do it..unless he'll be back in jail. Kimble seems to take "rallying" seriously! 8)


EDIT: Did I mention he's gonna win?

Interesting information. I'm curious if he'll actually pull it off...

And of course, if it's going to be a true race => lots of accidents and a few fatalities for sure. This is on the road, so there are lots of unforseen things that can happen. Even if Michael Schumacher participated I wouldn't bet on him winning the race. Such a long race on the road = a lot of luck involved too.

I think its a very interesting idea , but the Gumball stays cuz its a Rally , so its not Illegal , this is going to be an acual race , so its illegal in every corner in the world .... I want to see what happens in this race , i think it will be done , ive rtead that thread and Kimble has the money to do that and also Lonman said he is going to be there for the race ( for him even a going to the store is a race ... so no problem at all )

I read this on the M5 a while ago too....if this happens it will be nuts....they want a poor country, but then they have to make sure to have a heli to air lift people to the hospital.

If I would meet him on the road, I'd kill him.

Fun is one thing, being so overly irresponsible that accidents are virtually inavoidable is a whole different ballgame....

Kimble is a fraud and a liar. I hugely doubt anything written is true.
