Ahhh thanks! Anyone know of any further mods done to the car? As if it wasnt brutal enough to begin with

[Billy Whiz]

Neat but would have been nicer if the traction control was off

[Der Abt]

Bad news guys.
The TechArt you can see in my pursuit video, hit a car and because of the accident the driver of the car that got hit was killed and his wife is in critical condition.
The Gumball Rally is cancelled.

Issued by Maximillion Cooper on behalf of The Gumball 3000 Rally - 21.30 / 03 May 2007

Following our earlier release reporting yesterday's accident - As a sign of respect we have decided that this year's Gumball 3000 Rally will not travel any further and will end in Bratislava this evening, May 3rd 2007.
As the organisers of the rally we feel that it should be stopped as a mark of respect to Vladimir Cepulyoski who died today after an accident involving one the participating drivers.
We are very saddened by what has happened and feel that it would be wrong to continue. On behalf of Gumball 3000, we once again extend our deepest sympathies to his family and we are doing everything we can for them.
This is the first time anything like this has happened in 9 years of travelling through over 40 countries with 1000's of drivers and it is with deep regret that I make this announcement.

Very nice. Impressive how you can go and tune a CLK DTM AMG Carlsson is named after Swedish rally start Ingvar Carlsson. Also the name of a former Social Democratic prime minister :p

You would get laughed at drivign a Carlsson Mercedes in Sweden. It is like a Muller Mercedes in Germany or Smith Mercedes in the UK :p
