Trevor Traina & Adam Jackson Drive an Audi R8 from San Francisco to Beijing: DriverSide in the Gumball Rally [guys in the R8]



according to GTSPIRITS' sources this years rally sounds more like a parade or rich guys traveling 3000 to go to a starbucks in beijing. i hope i'm wrong since i still would like to take part in the rally.

"This year it will be harder then ever to tell who’s who and what’s going on. For a fact only a small number of cars will make their way over to Asia, a majority of the participants signed up for just the US leg of the rally. To make it even more confusing for the rally fans, Gumball invited former Gumballers and other supercar owners to display their cars at the various checkpoints and parade with the rallying participants. So don’t worry if you see a supercar with Gumball livery at one checkpoint and it doesn’t appear at the next, it didn’t crash, it just wasn’t on the rally…"
