2015 Gumball 3000

The Gumball 3000 came to Amsterdam yesterday from Stockholm, Sweden and they stayed in a Hotel nearby. There are a lot of luxury and sports cars in this neighborhood, but the Gumball 3000 crowd always brings something special.
I have seen a Koenigsegg CCXR, Lamborghini LM002, Lamborghini Murcielago, Porsche 918, a whole lot of Ferraris, Bentleys, Mercedes etc.

I grabbed a camera and took some shots. No flash so they are a bit dark. I just came back from a restaurant and had a few beers. That can influence image quality as well.
But it was good to see all these special cars there. As a petrolhead, this is one of those events you just have to see. 2 million dollar cars that are actually used and not dusting away in some garage or museum.

Event is well organized with a lot off support staff and security crew. Gumballers are cool people. They even step aside to let you take pics.

Some footage from Shmee150 from the start and the Koenigsegg runway drag races.

lucky you
must have been a rezal feast for ya eyes & ears

That's really cool

Yes, some pretty cool rides there. Germans were bullying the Gumballers, but they were happy to drive to the Amsterdam Arena for some show off party.

Here some more footage from Shmee

Lewis Hamilton has a great taste in cars. He has a Pagani Zonda LH and will be driving a friends Agera HH* in the final stages of the Gumball 3000 from L.A. to Las Vegas. Great stuff.
I also dig the Huayra from Max Cooper. Lots of cool rides in the Gumball 3000.




*Not Lewis' Car. But i think he is considering buying one anyway.

Ever seen a Koenigsegg Agera R, a McLaren P1 and a Pagani Huayra in one shot? Check this out.

Finally stage, the guys reached Las Vegas
