GTspirit reporters PX and Stieben just uploaded their pictures of the Gumballers arriving at the Channel Tunnel. They took the train from Calais to Dover and waited patiently for the arrival of the first cars. At 17:20 Team Polizei arrived as lead car, shortly followed by xzibit in the Gallardo. The first 30 teams arrived in a pretty short timespan. One of the Porsches already missed a part of his bumper, and Tove Christensen had to run all the way back from the train to the check-in because he left his drivers license. Tove told us that Hayden couldn’t make it to the start of the Gumball 3000 but that he might come over to Istanbul.

Unofficial Arrivals:

1. Team Polizei in the BMW M5
2. Team 1: Xzibit in the Lamborghini Gallardo
3. Team 73: Devil Fish in the Porsche 997 Turbo
4. Team 90: Tiger in the Lamborghini Gallardo Spider
5. Team 42: Team Fire in the Ferrari 360 Modena Spider
6. Team 46: Kill Bill in the Porsche 996 Turbo
