From real rally cars to, um, wealthy people dressing up their $$$$ toys, comes the latest edition of the Gumball 3000. The flag drops Saturday at 1:00 pm Pacific time, but the party starts the day before (Friday, May 1) at noon next to the Santa Monica Pier. There you will find supercars, lots of supercars, all done up in their goofy Gumball 3000 livery best. We’re talking Rolls-Royce Dropheads, Bugatti Veyrons, Ferraris, Porsches, Aston Martins, Lambos, Audi R8s and even a De Tomaso Pantera! The supercar show is followed by a free concert at 7:00 pm on the Third Street Promenade. That’s then followed by an after party at the Viceroy Hotel. Good luck getting into that one. I went last year (special pass, yo) and got to watch as Jason Statham ran up and down Sunset Blvd in a SSC Ultimate Aero TT. Good times. All the information you need: Gumball 3000.
