- Prepare for some dang foolishness. The world’s most expensive cars, covered in eye-melting livery, racing (and wrecking) on public roads because who cares about the rest of us peons, right? Except, don’t call it a race-it’s a rally. Maybe you heard about the time Johnny Knoxville nearly got creamed participating in it. Or how about the time its organizers took the action to North Korea? It’s a larger-than-life story with some larger-than-life personalities...This is everything you need to know to get up to speed about The Gumball 3000!
There’s a new piece of iconic Donut artwork, have you heard? Rep your love of all things cars and Donut by taking home a piece of the action: donut.media/collections/joy-o...

Are those cvt? A car that takes so little skill to drive, you don't even have to operate an automatic. It's a 4 wheel scooter.

" when millionaire's get bored, they do crazy sh*t, basement sh*t, private island sh*t " 😭💯💯
Saw that was like broo😂😂😂
I’m actually surprised they didn’t bleep it out haha
@@steezruiz4769 just realized that lmaoo
Got a little political there lol
Hmm sounds like a squid game reference
When a bunch of millionaires get bored they start doing “Basement shit” took me out bro 🤣😂
Then it got even darker when he took it to "Private Island" shit heh
I was photographer for one of their parties when they were in Riga. It was wild and I got to talk with quite a few participants and organizers. The difference between showoffs and OG gumballers was noticeable. Had few words with elderly and super polite german couple and even they addressed showy kids as "not real gumballers"
in Finland we have a thing called the "Gumball 500" where you have 500 euros to buy a car and fix it etc, and then do a roadtrip across finland with other participants.
That sounds like fun!
@@jimbusmaximus4624 yeah it does, id love to join one year cus is got my license last year😄
That's why Finland is a happy country lol
500 Euros!? In the US, you can MAYBE fill your gas tank twice..
@@jimbusmaximus4624 gas in finland is around 2.20-2.40€ per liter and diesel 2.10-2.30🥲
I had to do some filming for some of the hot boy rallies throughout the years - and I officially stopped about four years ago. It honestly just comes across sad the level these people would go just to impress or one up each other on or off the street. Constantly crossing double yellows, passing on shoulders, drinking and driving the next morning, spending thousands at parties just to brag about it to their friends etc. James was right - 90% of the time it's just selfish as hell and I'm glad I didn't fit in.
You're one of the wholesome, intelligent ones. We applaud you bro, random guy whom I'll act like I don't know lol
Real talk from a real dude...In blue.
That's exactly what Brock Yates feared and decided to end the real cannonball run
Wow, I read the comment and then the name. You're doing awesome man and I'm jealous of your mustang tbh. Also, you would think there would be some class in the rally.
honest guy is good guy
I met Max in New Mexico yrs ago and we had a brief 10 min conversation, five years later I met him again and before I could say we've met before he spoke up and said "we've met before" and remembered when, where and my name. Cool guy, I rate him highly.
Super cool video! Just wanted to point out that the 3000 in Gumball3000 is actually like the year 3000 as maximillion has an obsession with the future that u can see through his art/vehicle collection. They did try to make the rally 3000 miles to match up but its not how it got its name. Heard him say this in Mr. JWWs interview/video with him posted a few days ago and never knew
The Jackass Gumball is one of may favorite specials out there. A few of the jackass boys have done it here and there throughout the year as well. I think Alex Roy might have as well unless it was just cannonball run
I remember Steve-O doing the gumball rally equivalent of a drug bender in that episode.
Alex Roy did a few gumball rallies
where can i watch it?
Absolutely nothing compared to the “Gumball: Driving Me Crazy” with the Ayia Boys
On a recent Wild Ride with Steveo he mentioned how he and pontius had a jerk off competition in the car. I went on a few benders since then but im pretty sure the story was about the gumball race haha
I remember once, after they had 'some fun' in Vegas, one of the Murcielago drivers just straghit up bought another murcielago, took the wheels off it and left the rest of the car at the dealer, because he couldn't find somewhere to replace the tyres he just melted....... That was the same year that the worlds fastest speeding ticket was issued to the Koenigsegg doing 242 in a 75 zone. That same Koenigsegg had a full mobile workshop following it along the route as well because it kept breaking itself. Drive shafts, crank cases, and on one occasion emptied it's entire gearbox all over the floor for what seemed like no reason at all!
Lmfao, I forgot about the Koenigsegg with a mechanic team following them🤣
I hear that the koenigsegg have a lot of engine problems and the realibiltiy is bad I even seen a yellow keonigsegg on youtube break down and pagani zonda having a hard time to start up he said it sounds good but terriable to drive he sold it
All this throwback footage is such a trip. Ive watched all of these as a kid and dreamed of being in the Gumball 3000. Gave this a thumbs up in less than 30 seconds. loved every minute!
Man I remember being in elementary school when my neighbor's dad first showed me the Mischief Gumball3000 DVD... What a time to be alive lol
Hearing James uncensored is so jarring and funny at the same time
glad i wasn’t the only one who heard it, i had to pause and read the comments after a solid rewind. i hope they do more of that.
@@MnhattanProject exactly
Bruh they bleeped half of the shits, gave me a good chuckle
yeah wish they stopped bleeping tbh
@@MnhattanProject I did not notice until I read this comment, now I gotta re-watch
“He married Eve. So, he’s a Ruff Ryder now”. Awesome line haha
Was waiting on this part of the vid🤣‼️
Those Mischief 3000 DVDs were awesome back in the day, I still have a few of them in a box in my garage. I was at the conclusion of the 2006 Gumball in Beverly Hills and it was a spectacle watching the cars stagger in.
So if you have the copy of the Mischief 3000 with the gumball logo on the hood of the BMW you have a very rare copy. When Gumball sued them they had to remove the logo on the cover of the DVD
I remember hearing this on a VinWiki video, I think. I checked my DVD and it is one of the early ones with the gumball logon on the hood of the BMW.
They just came through my town of Bardstown today and it was amazing
Thank you for the shoutout! We snuck on the Gumball 3000 20yrs ago this month. "Mischief 3000" was one of the top 10 selling motorsports DVDs in the world because of our Gumball 3000 coverage. We did pay the entry for the 2006 Gumball 3000 (8 Days Around the World) and we've been covering rallies ever since. Great memories!

I was writing my first car stories back in 2009 when I got in contact with a guy who had just done the Gumball. He was in his 50s, active in a big money industry and you would've never guessed he'd be a Gumballer. We had coffee and, after a nice long chat, he handed me a hard drive with raw footage for the rally to select for my article. However, a few minutes before I was supposed to leave, his Gumball partner showed up-they had done the even in a Gallardo-and was shocked to find out about our little agreement. Of course, I got home with 0 GB of video, and I'm still wondering what was in there to this day and whether it was the second guy's wife or employees that stood in the way of my hapiness, lol
W
should've ran off lol
Or option c, Maximilian Cooper's army of lawyers who'd have had both their asses for taking unauthorized footage during the rally and handing it to a third party. Saved you from a legal pounding there, man!
I have witnessed it last year in Amsterdam, cycled over 130 miles for it!
I assumed it was named for the 1976 movie "The Gumball Rally" 5 years before the Burt Reynolds movie "Cannonball Run". "The Gumball Rally" wasn't as wacky as "Cannonball Run" and was a little closer to the real race. It's worth watching.
The 1976 movie "The Gumball rally" was on TV here (Australia) the other day . Awesome cars in that movie with a bunch of famous actors
It was the same for The Cannonball run.... There was like over 50 actors.... I was surprised that I saw Jackie Chan in it with Jaws
I've seen the Gumball Rally countless times. Absolutely love that movie. I know it's the more famous of the two... but barely remember The Cannonball Run. Gotta re-watch that one I guess.
@@jessellsealy7888 The Gumball Rally is absolutely not the more famous of the two. Far more people are familiar with Cannonball Run. It was the sixth highest-grossing film of 1981, behind Raiders of the Lost Ark, On Golden Pond, Superman II, Arthur, and Stripes.
@@christopherscott3120 that's what I was saying. I know it's the more famous one, but I barely remember it
@@jessellsealy7888 I get it. Cannonball Run is one of my all-time favorite movies, I first saw it when I was 5 and it's probably responsible more than any other movie for turning me into a car enthusiast.
That 2007 accident with porsche and golf ended up, when two people from porsche try to escape from Macedonia by jumping in rolls roys that came, but police arrested them. At the end they gave a large amount of money and they have been released.
Imaging killing two people and getting away scot free. I hate rich people man.
Rich people really can just kill people and just get away with it
Cowards
I remember when the Gumball 3000 came through my town in 2017. it was the first time I got to see a veyron in person. and was the year they had the graphitti'd green lambo that drew everyone in.
"If you're on the Internet in 2002 and your mom needs to use the phone, you need to get off."
Oh god the memories... waiting 3-5 minutes for one jpg of a mostly naked lady to load onto the screen one thin stripe at a time while knowing at any point a random family member could come walking into home office.
Quick note--the name comes from _The Gumball Rally_, a 1976 comedy portrayal of the Cannnonball.
Not to be confused with _Cannonball_, a 1976 comedy portrayal of the Cannnonball.
Or _Cannonball Run_, the 1981 comedy portrayal that starred Burt Reynolds, Farrah Fawcett, Roger Moore, Jackie Chan, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Dom Deluise,..., and Brock Yates himself.
Exactly right
Yep, and "The Gumball Rally" is The Best !! THE Best car movie ever made !!!
I have a Gumball 3000 Ford GT Hotwheels on my shelf. At first I was confused, and then this appeared. Thanks James!
Thats awsome
I have it too, white one 😀
yep, the GT40 legend the 2021 hot wheels one
Me too man I have a Ford Escort Hot wheel that says gumball 3000 And I was like what is This.
I'll buy it from you and pay shipping
James neglected to mention the amount of new connections you can make at those parties are game changing
really though, with the 120k entry fee, do you really need those parties to make connections?
@MrPrajitura someone obviously doesn't see this comment was a joke from a year ago...

Glad to see you pumping out these comedic auto history episodes James! Hope you're doing well these days
Production home run! Thanks for the creativity and always outstanding work .
Not so fun fact.
In Denmark we now confiscate cars on the spot if they are caught going over 2x the speed limit or anything above 200km/t(125 mph). So I don't think any future run would go through Denmark.
An Iranian man living in Norway went to Germany to buy a Lamborghini Huracán and when crossing Denmark had it confiscated for driving 236km/t through Jutland after having bought it earlier that same day.
And ‘ Iranian’ added what to the story ? unbelievable ‘Danish’ attitude 😂
@@marinerbc1 Did Iranian subtract anything from the story?
Simply a fact and it helps to show how small and intertwined Europe is compared to the US.
And what is the Danish attitude?
@@marinerbc1 Well. Just Googled it to see what English spoken news media had to say on the matter and every single news site had the a reference to him being Iraqi citizen(I misremembered about him being Iranian). Every other citizenship than Norwegian and it would be a relevant detail. So why are you so offended?
Day 341 of asking Donut to bring old B2B back
Lol
This was a dope video. Thanks for dropping it.
I remember in season two of Top Gear the super model Jodie Kidd was on for the SIARPC (she took top place, beating out JK) and she talked a lot about the Gumball.
The story of how the Mischief crew got into the rally was actually pretty funny and also, hella dumb but as they say, "if it's stupid but it works, it ain't stupid". If I remember correctly...
So one of the producers of the crew had his E36 M3 just done up by strapping a turbo onto the engine and it was making north of 500hp. They drove it to the event as just a tagalong and was going to write reports about it, that's it.
But then someone from their crew thought it was a great idea to print stickers and slab it on and act as if they were in the actual event. So they went to a sticker shop, printed whatever they could that looked authentic to what the other gumballers had and slathered it onto their M3, left it in the underground carpark like the other gumballers and continued to the pre-party.
So the officials would check whatever cars that's parked in the garage down there once registration timing has closed and check if the car's plates and model all tallied towards the database that they had or not and all cars are supposed to have a special tag that they should have received prior to entering the hotel. So somehow, during the inspection during the night, unknown to the Mischief crew, some official walked past their car, realized that they had their M3 stickered up, noticed they didn't have the special tags and stuck one on the car for them thinking that they were a participant who simply forgot to tag their car before heading for the pre-party.
The next day of the start of the official rally, they left the grand hall and thought they wouldn't be involved and what they did would definitely be caught and instantly tossed out but what happened shocked and slightly confused them.
The official that tagged their car recognized them, told them about their car and then realized they didn't have their special wristband too. Thus he handed them their bands and sent them on their way. This confused them quite awhile till they realized that they had actually been entered into the rally without even being on the list and since they're not on the list, whatever Gumball rules that it had were not their problems anymore thus instead of having the idea of just filming short, secret films, they went fully committed and did a whole god damn documentary.
And also, you know what? I say... ENTER! Enter it. You STILL have time to make a crazy ride.
Buy a crazy '70 Challenger, stuff a crate Redeye engine in it, balls to the walls and drive it the entire length.
Because if CarThrottle could do it, you can too.
Surprised "the gumball rally " film from 76' was not mentioned...some of the best shelby cobra and Ferrari driving on film
Yeah I'm confused how DONUT thinks Cannonball started when the actual film GUMBALL RALLY came out before everything & is what inspired all these rallies. Gumball 3000 got its name FROM GUMBALL RALLY the Movie, it's what also inspired the American Rally "Bullrun".
Once again, Donut media is helping my mental health in a time when I really needed it.
Y'all have helped save me countless times.
Much love Donut ❤
You guys are awesome!!! Never change!!
Can confirm 100% accurate pronunciation of Beaulieu at 6:51
@Simon Wood you must understand this is a joke, surely
LA traffic combined with recent fuel price make my good' ol Triumph Tiger 1050 indispensable 😂
Gotta love Dado and Dustin! Mischief 3000 clips. Bringing me back with them
Dial up was wild, remember playing starcraft 2 late at night because everyone was done with the phone by then.
Diablo II: Lord of Destruction, for me...
I love how it went from cars to culture all around the world . Absolutely love it keep it up
Weird, just found my Mischief Dynasty DVD a couple days ago, and watching it right now.
Edit* oh, so he mentioned them, sweet
drinking game: drink every time he complains about rich people existing
oh wait you'd be dead halfway through
This was a good one. Nice job James.
Well I guess it's cool you mentioned the Teckademics/Mischief crew. Dado is the man and his Dakar turbo M3 was so cool!
Honestly I'm surprised you didn't mention Alex Roy in his polizia m5. I reckon he would even be worth an up to speed of his own
straight starscream level tech
oh man would love to see an episoe on the polizia m5 badass
Mischief 3000 was the best DVD ever made DADO is a LEGEND.
Feels so good not being the only person who knew/owned the Mischief DVDs! I had the 3000 and the Teckademics DVDs
The shocking attempt at pronouncing beauliea is hilarious 😂
"Balooooo" God i love Americans
His pronunciation was amazing. For reference, it's pronounce byew-lee (give or take). So not, not even the French way.
I have never been so on time for a sub page refresh
@4:30 James interpretation of the best party ever is right on point! Those Thai inspired tacos sound amazing!
I remember the jackass gum ball so well especially Chris pontius saying “Russian police, stern but fair”
I remember watching Shmee150 partake in the Gumball 3000 in 2018, those were the coolest vlogs I've watched in that year. It was amazing to see some of the cars that were in the rally, too.
I also like that trip the best, seems like because Japan🤪
This is probably the most consistent channel on yt ▶️
WatchJRGo is pretty consistent as well.
@@DreamWorkDrive I like him as well!
Dezzysspeedshop is right up there too!
Love that we are getting more up-to-speeds on the actual things happening around the car world and not just about cars. dont get me wrong i love cars but i want to know more about these crazy events.
The shadow work on that mural was SO GOOOOOD!
Ryan Dunn and Bam Margera went to my high school and got expelled for dropping pants and rubbing their junk on lockers. Those lockers are still there, and yes they're basically a national monument.
My best friend would've creamed himself
17:50 James you're 1 of the real 1s. I appreciate that you couldn't say that with a straight face
The giggle in the background makes it even better
This guy can tell me a story of like a rock and I would be there paying attention bro😂 homie is good and keeping everything interesting
this channel is goated
Tbh i feel like the gumball also does show us how these luxury/ fast expensive cars can handle the long and tiring jouney especially since many believe they get broken down easily
Yeah I actually thought about that, like wtf would you do in middle of nowhere in the Balkans when your multi million dollar car broke down, surprisingly none of them did
Actually many of them do break down easily. Ferrari is quite known for its low reliability. In recent years their reliability improved. Still, I did find a video from a guy that owned one from the early 2010s and he complained that about 1 in 4 weeks the Ferrari at a dealership for repairs and there were still issues. Lambo isn't better off.
@@_abk_3251 well, you just find the nearest dealership and buy another car, innit?
"Skate boarder Rob Dyrdek"... Billionaire entrepreneur. His image is carefully sculpted, but he's still part of the problem.
Considering he hogtied MTV into being his mistress, I'd say well played on his part.
i love you guys.
This might be my favorite episode in awhile.
"Your license is too big." Lmao Gumball 3000 episode was the BEST ever.
I can ALWAYS hit the like button on every donut video before the first word is said because they are always awesome videos!!!
The mural is outstanding! 😍
Mischief 3000 is by far my favorite car scene film to this day
Imagine if they all gathered at the Nurburgring and just race there like "normal" people that are multimilionare and own exotics do :)
That would be lame
That would take skill and talent rather than just money, too hard for rich kids
@@luchadorito I'd rather see them wreck the daddy's car on public roads then on the track.
@@riotgear9116 Why? Honest question
@@riotgear9116 id personally rather see rich people be held accountable the same way we are. Speeding tickets based on your wealth rather than the same number for the poor and the ultra rich and so on
Sick mural work, well done! Murals are one of the hardest mediums to portray so much detail so well.
Yo James, I love the grey in your beard. Watching getuptospeed over the years and seeing you mature (that sounds weird) gives me a warm feeling in my tummy and makes me smile when I spot grey hair on myself. (ok, thats a weird message all-in-all, but hey, thanks Donut Media for the great time and content and development. Hugs
When you watch donut for so long that you remember when they tried not to swear....then eventually just bleep swears.....then just say screw it and don't edit swears. And I love it. More real
Thank you rylie! That logo is going to be plastered on every car in my driveway, laptops and any unsuspecting buddies car lol
I love his lavender golf sweater it's very relaxing on the eyes
I consider James the undisputed fashion king of my age group. He needs to add it to his resume.
Love the sweater and the sass
Gumball will be stopping in Bardstown ky this year.. can’t wait!
Damn the donut painting looks amazing 🤩🤩
This one brings back memories of teenage me watching mischief dvd's dreaming about owning a sick import one day.
I do have one of the original dvds, man those were the good times.
I remember watching the special as a kid, Johnny is the coolest dude.
Theres a lot of focus on the 1981 Cannonball Run movie and the real event which it was based on, but it seems that the Gumball 3000 is definitely named after the earlier 1976 Gumball Rally movie, the OG silly road rally movie.
So it just dawned on me that the Sammy Hagar's "I can't drive 55" is a protest song - (insert mind blown emoji)
What did you think it was?...
@@nickabel8279 I just thought he enjoyed speeding - I too like to speed from time to time. I didn't realize the song was in response to the gov't mandating a lower speed limit
Ruby Wax put out a fantastic documentary about this back in the day. I must go back and rewatch it.
Epic video!
“Liked” by Johnny Knoxville…Pretty sure it will be
Brock Yates denounced this event in a interview. And of course, he used it to promote his new event. 1 Lap Of America. Which is pretty cool. Lots of race cars, being driven on the roads, to location to location, where at the location instead of parties, they actually have a driving event.
And WTF. James, you're a entertaining dude, and probably the reason why many people watch this channel. But how do you not even mention the movie? The Gumball Rally movie is one of my all time favorite car movies. With great stars, and non of the "Cannonball Run" stupidity.
10:52 that Chevy Trailblazer sheriff car 🔥🔥
i still have mt OG dvd with the gumball logo on Dato's M3. man im gonna go watch it again. that movie was one of the reasons i got into cars
Oh man. I remember watching the Jackass Gumball when it was first came on MTV. I was just a kid then 😂
Great, I feel old now... 😭
A few years back, the Gumball 3000 came through Death Valley National Park where I was working as a law enforcement park ranger. At one point I pulled over a Ferrari going 90 in a 50. The situation was pretty ridiculous. The driver of the Ferrari immediately pulled over when I turned on my overhead lights and patiently waited for me as I did a slow-ass, three-point turn on the two-lane road in my Chevy Tahoe patrol vehicle to get turned around. If he had chosen to run, there was simply no way in hell I would catch him, so the first thing I did when I walked up was to thank him for stopping. Turns out he was in a rental, and he had paid $21,000 to rent it for three weeks. The most expensive ticket I could've written him would've only been $450, so I used the only tool I had: I issued him a summons to court without the option to pay a fine. He had to fly to L.A. from his home in Europe a few months later and drive a rental car out to Bakersfield to appear before the federal judge just to plea guilty and pay the $450 fine anyway. Fun times.....
Ur an ass for that. Any normal person would have just fined him especially since he stopped right away. Some would have let him go n most would have given him a lower fine. Especially for only 90.
Honestly thank you.
That's a dick move wtf.
😂
Couldn't he just not appear and have a default judgment made against him then pay that somewhat increased fine?
I remember buying that Mischief 3000 DVD. I bought it randomly and was introduced to the Gumball 3000.
"they do crazy shit, basement shit, island shit..." 😂
Speaking of rich car enthusiasts racing on public highways, can you do a video on The Hashiriya (aka The Midnight Club) that ruled the Shuto Expressway in the 80's and 90's? That would be epic!
He did the other day didn’t he? I’m sure I watched it
@@Bigsoot7393 What video is that?
@@ainahko16 nah sorry it wasn't donut but I watched this one if was good
ruclips.net/video/lRt56Y9JMEg/видео.html
No Sir James, I can barely grasp at the though of driving a car from 1929 for that long, let alone see in person. But think of just how fun it would be and everything that would happen during that race?! Definitely going to remember every single mile of it.
Can't wait till next month!!
I remember watching one of those dvds back in the day and it blew my mind that someone was not only driving an F50 in shitty weather, but driving through the desert with a cracked windshield and sandblasted front bumper.
