1 Carrera GT driven by LONMAN :????? is this true?
plenty of ferraris, a few F430s
Ryan Dunn and Johnny Knoxville are back.

Re: GUMBALL Grid is up!

@YellowGallardo163,

Im glad its the same with you, I cant view it either, can anyone do a screenshot of the entire starting grid and send it to von.wieding(at)gmail.com (at) = @ and then I will upload the pictures so that everyone can see the starting grid, cause I would love to see it and it annoyes me that I cant!

It would be very much appreciated!

Re: GUMBALL Grid is up!

Hendrik you are lucky. I wish I couldn't see it.

The layout is very poor, you have to scroll the screen to the right for about 3 minutes to see all of the cars, the scroll rate is probably something like 10fps.

It's a shocking site and I wish they could just list the cars and link them to pictures and details instead of trying to be clever jackasses with **** flash pages.

Wow, I did not expect that!

Nevertheless I am in touch via Email with the Webmaster of the Gumball Messageboard and I asked him to publish a list of the Starting Grid in a standard and simple html view and not the fancy flash stuff.

He said that he will ask if that is possible, if yes I guess I will hear from him via email soon!

I'm quite dissapointed now, as I was really looking forward to see the grid, but if the whole Website is playing around I guess id rather wait until I am in London next week...

Shame though...

Thanks Jeff, appreciate it!

Re: GUMBALL Grid is up!

I was able to view it (agree with all above the worst design ive seen in a long time). Here are some of the highlights:

Zonda x2
Carrera GT x 2
Enzo x 2
F40 x 2
Merc SLR x 2
DB9 x 2
430 X 5
Murcielago x 4
Diablo x 2
Gallardo x 2

A huge amount of Porsches and 360's pretty much the same as last year. Oh and some crazy person in an Ariel Atom!
