15th Anniversary Gumball 3000 Rally

The 15th-anniversary rally is being held in May 2013. The start is in Copenhagen on the 18th of May and finishes, roughly a week later, in Monaco just in time for the F1 Grand Prix. A party will be held at each of the staging points to alleviate the "boredom" of driving 3.000 miles in one week. The most anticipated car at this rally will be a replica of the Batman Tumbler, driven by Team Galag from Saudi Arabia, who will also be designing a bespoke supercar specifically for this rally named TG1. Apart from the odd supercars to the more regular ones, you can always expect a party on wheels when Gumball 3000 invades a country on the path to the finish line in Monaco.

The official route of the 2013 Gumball 3000 rally is as follows
Copenhagen
