Millionaires caught in 250km/h road race

From correspondents in Tarragona, Spain

May 11, 2004

FIVE multi-millionnaires were arrested at the weekend for driving at speeds of more than 200km/h in an unauthorised, high jinks road race in the Catalonia region of Spain, local police said today.

The annual, yet illegal car race known as the Gum Ball 3000, is famous for attracting participants with an appetite for big-engined cars and life in the fast lane.

Among this year's participants are British actor Adrien Brody, model Jodie Kidd, the singer Jamiroquai and a nephew of Saudi Arabia's king.

The five drivers - all men - detained by Spanish police yesterday are from Britain, Canada and Belgium and are all between the ages of 30 and 50.

One of the drivers covered the 210 km distance between the towns of Sagunto and Cambrils in 50 minutes, at an average speed of 252 km/h on a public highway.

The French police had warned Catalonian officials of the arrival of more than 160 large-engined sports cars taking part in the race, which began on May 5 in Paris.

Police in France's Bordeaux region had fined several of the participants on Saturday for driving at high speed.

Among the pack of automobiles taking part in the race are such makes as Lamborghini, Ferrari, Bentley, Mercedes, Ford Mustang, Porsche, Chevrolet Camaro, Maseratti and BMW.

According to the Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia, the drivers of the 2004 event travelled from Paris to Madrid to pay a visit on Real Madrid footballer David Beckham, descended to the Costa del Sol, then skipped over to Casablanca and Marrakech, where they were the guests of Moroccan King Mohammed VI.

The group planned to make an appearance at the Cannes Film Festival upon the conclusion of the race on May 12.

But that last pit stop may have been foiled when 20 of the cars signed up for the race were impounded yesterday in Catalonia.

During last year's Gum Ball 3000, held in the United States, participants incurred more than 21,000 euros in fines.

Her hair is nice. I like the natural look with the two different colours..

The people who do the blonde on top with black.. i reckon just looks horrible. That more natural light blonde on dark blonde looks nice. It doesn't look like she wears much makeup either.

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
