Gumball 2007 - Fatal crash
No sympathy for Gumball 3000 from those discussion boards! And no sympathy from me either for anyone who tries to run from an accident they caused while people are dying
On a lighter note, this comment from that forum did make me smile:
"These douchebag glamourpuss showboats couldn't drive a stick up a dead pig's arse."
tossers.
did they think they wouldnt get caught?

im a fan of the Gumball, but unfortunately this is something that was due to happen at some point, the cars just keep getting quicker and theres so many numpties that have managed to get their hands on some dosh and go buy cars way beyond their abilities and then think they can drive them to the edge of trhe limits no problems
the fact they tried doing a runner though is just plain disgusting, i hope they rot in some orrible, middle of nowhere jail and have to drink eachothers **** for the next 20 odd years just to survive

How do you stop it though...
same way they stopped the raves, make a new law that makes any kind of organised rally illegal. that should pi5s on their fire.

Stupid thing is tomorrow I'll be marshalling club racing. Nowhere near the glamour of Gumball but damn there will be a whole load more interesting cars, and maybe some clever driving too.
Even on a closed circuit there are accidents. Trying to race on roads is just asking for trouble.

Which was my first thought last night, yet there are many rallies that do a great deal of good rather than the *****-assuring Gumball. It would be unfair to ban the responsible ones because of this.
I have watched programmes on Gumball and nobody can defend it realistically, at least a sizable proportion or even all drive dangerously and repeatedly break laws. That's different to the London to Brighton run that my friend does with his Dad in a Morris..!

also another porsche gt crashed too yesterday
Yep, appears like another responsible driver there
Hope they got special insurance. Almost all policies exclude all forms of motorsports including rallys and some even exclude treasure hunts

still researching this everywhere...
latest i read on sky news somewhere was that they waited for ambulance before leaving the scene and reported to police once they reached the border. Though its believed their intentions were to carry on with the rally?

i've heard so many different versions of events that i'm starting to wonder if the british press are involved.
wonder what the sun will say. probably "british heros kill evil foreign road hog in proudest day of british motorsport history. turn to page 3 for nude pics of injured wife." or something equally distasteful. then the sport will recontruct a naked version with underage topless single mothers.
lmao think highly of them then hey jug?
