**Hot GUMBALL 3000 links: [from]
1- LIVE coverage!
2- Of course the Gumball 300 blog
3- GTSPIRIT - great one! the pictures are amazing and up to date coverage with pictures (I said pictures twice so trust me they are worth it :D) and from the pictures I knew that there is an Emirate participant too! :D very nice to see people from the Gulf area being in the Gumball 3000
NEXT is real live action :D VIDEOS from around the WWW
First Video featuring who ever is filming this movie trying to catch up with the KUWAITI driver in the KUWAITI car :D tough luck, at least up to the video's end :D
Here the Saudi Porsche & the Kuwait Lamborghini at the gas station, the people around them are impressed, and again the Kuwaiti flag on top gave me the chills :D also notice the initials of the team members

I didnt like this one much the lighting was not so good although great shots! but no lights! they didnt make any sence, but I could not resist the fact that the first picture is for the Kuwaiti plates!
Not so hot video but the Kuwaiti car is there :D
This guy was impressed by the car sound, he called the video (lamborghini murcielago lp640 crazy sound)
Most of the videos are from the GUMBALL 3000 BLOG
The thing I like the most is that the Gumball 3000 is a street race, with normal every day people participating in it :D and this year there is a Kuwaiti team! I read in a comment I read in a blog that there was a Kuwaiti that participated before (Khaled Al-Randi "aka Khaled Miami") but am not sure yet. I wish the Kuwaiti team the best :D
Also the best thing about this event is that it gets proper coverage, from people ALL around the world, so its not like the events that lift up the Kuwait's name up high in the sky & we do not know about. This is also one of the main reasons I love the internet :D
