Gumball Cancelled
Gumball Cancelled
Hi guys...
I was surprised to come on to 6speed today and not find people chattering about the cancellation of this year's Gumball 3000 because of 3 fatalities (2 of which were locals, not racers, who were hit by some guys driving a Techart prepared Porsche).
There are a ton of articles on the web now. here is one to start at if you are interested:

and
http://cars.ign.com/articles/785/785507p1.html
Pretty sad i would have to say. Especially since the drivers of the porsche tried to flee the scene in another Gumballers car. They were quickly caught.
Bad times for the hoopla-rally-event of the year.

The guy could just as easily been driving a BMW or Benz. The fact that he was driving a porsche and then fled the seen means what exactly?
