Haven't heard of the Gumball Rally? Clearly you aren't part of the Trustafarian set. Anyone with £10,000 to burn is welcome to join the Europe-wide race. And Maximillion, despite the name, doesn't come from money. He attests his family is from working class background, and that he works 25-hour days.

Just thinking about it makes me exhausted. 25 hours? Well, it will take longer than that to get through the rally. One hundred and twenty of the world's most souped-up cars are sent off in London by British F1 driver Jenson Button - good to see that the boy is kept busy during that two-race ban - before they zip through the 3,000 mile route via Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Dubrovnik, Sicily and Rome, crossing the finishing line on the evening of Friday May 20 in Monte Carlo's Casino Square.

Not invited to the finish line part? Frankly, sweets, you just aren't worthy. Never fear, we have five pair of tickets to Friday's private launch party to be won (details below).
