The details for the 2006 Gumball 3000 rally have been released. This year's event starts with a public music concert in London and then cars will take off for Turkey passing through ten countries en route to Istanbul. Then the 120 cars and 250 people will fly to Hong Kong using three cargo planes and a private Gumball 3000 jet for all the drivers. Stage Two starts in Hong Kong and heads to Shanghai, Beijing and another concert in Tianamen Square. Then it's back on the jets, this time to Salt Lake City. Stage Three starts there are with races across the salt flats and then of course, a little sojourn in Vegas. It all ends with a big finale in Los Angeles with another concert and a trophy ceremony at the Playboy Mansion. The madness begins on April 30 and ends May 9, 2006 and applications are open for the ride of a lifetime. Details from previous Gumball 3000 rally events indicate that this is for big spenders and big partiers only.
