    Gumball 3000 in 2 days!

    Im excited about this one! I wanna see the video of this when it comes out.

    Race Day for the 2005 Gumball 3000 - May 14, 2005
    day 1 [tue17] London -> CHUNNEL -> Bruxelles -> Prague (?sleep.. maybe not)
    day 2 [wed18] Prague -> Vienna -> Budapest -> Zagreb (?)
    day 3 [thr19] Zagreb -> Split -> Dubrovnik -> Italy somewhere
    day 4 [fri20] Sicily (Targa Florio) -> Rome (PARTY)
    day 5 [sat21] Rome -> Monaco (via Mille Miglia)
    day X [sun22] F1GP Monaco

    I am quite sure about day 1 & 2 and day 4 & 5.
    The only thing I am unsure about is the way they will follow from Hungary and into Croatia. Here are my estimates in km.

    (3000 miles = 4800 km)

    London -> Bruxelles : 311,3KM [via chunnel]
    Bruxelles -> Prague : 913,7KM > 1225KM
    Prague -> Vienna : 295,8KM > 1520,8KM
    Vienna -> Budapest : 244,6KM > 1765,4KM
    Budapest -> Zagreb : 344,0KM > 2109,4KM
    Zagreb -> Rijeka : 173,7KM > 2283,1KM [following coastline]
    Rijeka -> Zadar : 211,2KM > 2494,3KM [following coastline]
    Zadar -> Split : 157,8KM > 2652,1KM [following coastline]
    Split -> Dubrovnik : 213,7KM > 2865,8KM [following coastline]
    Dubrovnik <> Bari : FERRY from Croatia to Italy (8 hours)
    Bari -> Villa San Giovanni : 449,5KM > 3315,3KM
    Villa San Giovanni <> Messina : FERRY to Sicily (40 minutes)
    Targa Floria : 1021,7KM> 4337 [Sicily]
    Messina <> Villa San Giovanni : FERRY to Italy (40 minutes)
    Villa San Giovanni > Roma : 696,6KM > 5033,6
    Roma -> Monaco : 683,9KM > 5717,5 [via Mille Miglia]

    as ride alongs or to switch drivers for that long race....its a 6 day race and im sure that it would take at least two people to keep a focused driver.....but that stetch is gonna have 6 people in it which is pretty ridiculous...thats $10,000 of a registration fee wasted for them...usually cars will have 2-3 people registered under them....Tarantino has three people including himself in his car...

    yeah seriously a waste... but I guess that if you have 10,000 bucks to waste on 3 people then why not go for broke and waste it on 6 becides its a limo they can fit and comfortably. I'll bring the wine and beer
