Money is probably the least of your worries if you can afford one of those cars

No, not Europe. They go and start all over the world. Don't think they've routed into Canada yet.

I thought I remembered hearing that a couple years ago an Mk4 GTI won, although that may have been a lie.

That was Bullrun in 2007 or 2008..


I also dont think the "winners" have anything to do with who comes in first.. They have a bunch of different categories since its technically not a race.
Some people take it very seriously though.

Also Gumball sorta seems like a rip off... I think its over twice as expensive as Bullrun and you actually seem to get less out of it.

From Wiki:
For 2009 Team Wu (Bill Wu, brother Allen Wu, David Maher (current US trans-continental world record holder), and others) will be going in a former California Highway Patrol car complete with real CHP logos, working police lights, sirens, ect. They will disguise the car as the "CDCSFTERIVV" or CDC Swine Flu Tactical Emergency Response Interception Vaccination Vehicle, and will be wearing haz-mat bio-safe suits. Team Wu will have ground tactical support by Eric Ward (former Gumball 3000 veteran and 2-time Gumball unofficial winner in 2006 and 2008) with his crew providing logistical support from a remote location.
WTH?
