The 12th annual Gumball 3000 Rally took place over 7 days from London to New York! This film follows the 120 amazing cars travel across two Continents and cover 3000 miles of road trip action. Crowds of over 500,000 cheer the cars off in Central London and continue to line the roads and gas stations of Europe. After the first nights stop in Amsterdam the German Authorities throw a spanner in the works and "BAN" the Gumball cars from driving across Germany! For some reason the Germans can't understand that the event is not a race, and is an entertainment that is celebrated in every other country it goes through! Undeterred, Gumball host Maximillion Cooper organises 12 "double decker" transporters and several "coaches" to ferry the cars and participants across Germany and into Denmark. After a frustrating day of very little driving the Gumballers get back on the road and reach Copenhagen and then Stockholm before being flown in giant cargo planes to North America!
