Just booked myself on this.... Even though I haven't built the Corsa yet 
Sounds like a laugh and since I can't afford to do the real one.... why not.
All details on this site...
www.modifiedgumballrally.com
Is anyone else from here going on it as I see theres a few Corsa's on the entered Teams list.

i was considering it.. till i noticed only 3 nights accomodation included. you need to find your own hostel for the other nites.
tidy looking website, but hardly any big names in the modding business behind it.

i must admit i was just thinking about it, and i might pull out after reading the website, i was told bout it by my mate in the dc5, sounds expensive now, probably a bit crap with only 150 cars and not exactly great cars are they?????????? I thought me and my mates would have the shittest cars????? oh well, mite do it.

Haha, well yes reliablity is a concern.... But 4 weeks before this event the Car will be going to the Nurburgring anyway. So any potential problems "Should" show themselves then.
Slighty off the topic but I just hold of the new Max Power and I have to say theres a handful of quality cars in it! The write ups are still a bit dodge but you can't fault the machinery. eg:
A stunning E30 M3 with 963bhp 
And a very nice DTM inspired Saab 9-3 with 802bhp, sequential box and a whole host of bespoke parts 
And not one stupidly large fibreglass kitted feature car
Hopefully this is the future of their magazine as the Editor was saying in the post he started..... if so it gets a from me. Just needs some more detailed technical write ups.
