"The 2006 rally was the most ambitious of any rally so far, starting London and finishing in Los Angeles just 8 days later, with the organisers flying all 120 cars from Europe to Asia and again from Asia to Europe in 3 [citation needed] of the largest aeroplanes in the world Antonov An-124, and an Iceland Air passenger Boeing 757. The rally started on April 29, 2006 in Pall Mall, London. It continued on to Vienna, Budapest and Belgrade. The drivers then boarded a plane in Serbia to be taken to Thailand for the race's second leg between Phuket and Bangkok. The final leg took place in the United States and ran from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles, via Las Vegas, where the legendary Snoop Dogg performed live at the Gumball party.
Entrants included Jackass stars Ryan Dunn and Bam Margera, driving Bams 'Billy Idol' customised Lamborghini Gallardo, Tony Hawk, Mike Vallely, and Rooftop Escamilla in a Jeep SRT8, Blink 182's Travis Barker drove his Rolls Royce Phantom with DJ Swiss Beats, Dirty Sanchez' Dan Joyce, Matthew Pitchard, and Love Actually star Martine McCutcheon drove a pink Range Rover and American television host Matt Johnston drove his custom 2006 Dodge Charger, amongst Gumball's regular assortment of eccentrics and billionaires from all over the world."
Thats the official description but the show is based around 2 people, they both have to complete a series of challenges given to them on each leg of the race. The difference is that one has a Bentley and the other has to hitch-hike the entire race. Its quite entertaining, only 6 episodes long and only 24 minutes an episode. So do yourself a favor and watch some kickass cars.
