The last three days we created a list of all the Gumballers and cars in this years Gumball 3000 Rally. Most popular cars in the rally this year are the Rolls Royce Phatom Drophead and the Ferrari F430 Spider. At least five of both supercars were present at this years Gumball 3000, followed by three Lamborghini Gallardo’s and three ‘normal’ Ferrari F430’s. The total number of cars in this years rally adds up to about 65, showcars excluded. Only a very small group of teams signed up for the full trip from San Francisco to Beijing, most of the teams displayed below only did the US leg or one day of this years Gumball 3000.
More information / teams and photos will be added over the next couple of days. If you know a team that did the Gumball 3000 but is not yet in the list or if you have additional information / photos / videos than please contact us.

I wish Team #009 Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead (CCCP)all the best this year!
I followed the rally last year over the internet, wen i noticed that they where going over the border (Netherlands/Germany)I jumped into my car to see the cars for real. Wen i was waiting for them after a 40 minute drive to the perfect location along the A76, i spotted “Team CCCP” in there AMG DTM they drove last year, i started up my car and catched up with them…
I drove last year with them uber the deutsche bundes grenz (Eindhoven/Venlo, A76)in my Rover 416 (LOL) marked with a Gumball sticker on the back of my car.
Good luck, Team #009, drive safe, but fast, and beat them other bastards!.. :)
Awesome Post. I’ve been waiting for something like this so we can keep track of who/what/where everyone is!
You also used a few of my shots, I’m flattered! Continue to use whatever I have as long as I’m credited if you start to get out of control with them :P
Yeah, they took some of my pictures from the HRE checkpoint in San Diego without giving credit. way to go gtspirit!
Gumball is getting worse every years. It’s getting less and less about the cars, and more about publicity and parties.. :( Buuhoo

Des, great post man, try and dig up the rest of the drivers the un-named cars belong to, that would be awesome!
The gumball 3000 as much as it would like to believe its all about the cars, is AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT parties and publicity for the affluent.. I love it! :)
Thanks guys!
MrBobMcBob & Poisen you’ve got mail ;)
Well, the first year, there were much more focus on the cars..
i wish the whole Gumball the best of luck, and i hope it doesn’t end up like last year about the crash, i do wish that TEAM Polizei 144 was in the rally, i’ve been wanting to see that team, have fun in BEIJING for the Olympics, GOOD LUCK!!!
It looks like you repeated some of the cars, like the white GT3: Teams #93 & #58. Are they 2 different teams racing the same car and stickers??
@B.McGuigan: Thanks, I added a new picture of team 93. Both GT3’s look very much alike. But a closer look tells us that team #93 has black 5 spoke wheels, an arabic front license plate and has less stickers on the car than team #58.
