About Gumball 3000:

Gumball 3000, an annual 6-day international street rally, was created in 1999 by ex-racing driver, designer and British entrepreneur Maximillion Cooper. From Cooper's vision to combine cars, music, fashion and entertainment, a pop culture lifestyle brand of the future was born. Taking its name from a combination of Andy Warhol's commentary on pop culture and Cooper's fascination with the future around the turn of the century, the annual event has evolved into a weeklong festival hosted by global cities, closing off streets to organize music concerts, action sports demos and spectacular automotive displays.
