Gumball 3000 is a crazy road race across europe. (Think of Burt Reynolds in Cannonball run)lol!

Rich guys race their Ferraris and Porsche\'s at high speed and crashes are quite frequent. I watched a documentary on the Gumball a while back, there was some real crazy chit going on.

those guys actually have a wallet with all the speeding fines of every country they cross, so that they can pay the police in cash when they get caught (speeding). Doing so prevents them from getting their drivers license confiscated (or so it seems)

There was a european one also, I seem to remember some of the drivers had to bribe police officers in some of the poorer countries in order to continue or were threatened with jail. I think Russia was the main culprit.
