Gumball 3000 2025

In 2024, Gumball 3000 delivered an adventure in Southeast Asia for its 25th Anniversary that its participants have described as the most memorable rally ever, and that says a lot. In the usual fashion, the route for the 2025 edition of the rally was announced, and once again, the rally is back in Europe.

In 2025, the route takes you from the cultural duality of Istanbul to the thumping sounds of Ibiza. A route that technically could start in Asia and then go to Europe, or it can be a sole European affair; essentially, it depends on which side of the bridge the rally starts. We are betting it will begin on the Asia side of the bridge, making it a bit more special.

Speaking of making things a little bit special, there is an exceptional piece of road in Romania, not too far away from Bucharest, called Transfăgărășan or DN7C; it has been dubbed "the best road in the world" and "the road to nowhere." The rally will likely visit this stretch of tarmac since it is on the way to Belgrade, and we should not forget all the excellent mountain roads of Northern Italy, which could if one wanted to, be on the way to Nice from Venice.

The Rally of 2025 does not stop in Monaco, one of the rally's most visited stops throughout the years. Instead, this year, all the participants get to see Nice, France. This is most likely because the Monaco Yacht Show happens around the same time as the rally is in the area.
