To my knowledge, there were no FDs in this past Gumball, but I could be wrong. The owner of DTMPower.net (Dado) did participate in the Gumball event, s you may want to contact him.

In terms of Ferrari kills, keep in mind that the Gumball event is not a race (not officially anyway), so people were not exactly driving to get to the finish line first.

To participate you need (a) $8,000 for the entry fee (b) the desire to spend $8000 to drive on public roads (c) a lot of spare time away from work (d) a very understanding girlfriend/significant other.

I think that rules out just about everyone here.

I can't afford gumball... its $12000 to enter.
It is for rich folks.. n yes.. u will get speeding tickets.
I heard one guy with F50 just threw out $100 bills when he was passing small towns.. and got pulled over for doing 190mph+ on highway..
One guy bought a brand new bently in NYC to join the race...

Its for rich people if i can get a sponser... i would love to do it.. but i doubt i will do gumball.. Im planning to do player's run though.. its same as gumball.

One guy in a Porsche Turbo decided to put all his tickets on his dash and windshield.......$10K worth of tickets once the race was over. Thats our only problem.

Another weird story was a cop pulled over a guy in a RUF R Turbo.....guy told the cop he was doing 209mph earlier.....the cop said "prove it" so the cop got in the passenger seat and they took off.
