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.

    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
