Gumball Rall 2005 was recently held – in May 2005. It was a rally from London to Monaco.
A good site about the Rally is http://www.antandpete.co.uk/ with loads of videos.

The idea the the Gumball started in 1933. Motorcycle racer “Cannonball” Baker crossed the United States from one side to another in about 54 hours. The first rally was in 1971. This inspired the 1970s movie Gumball Rally and 1980s movie Cannonball (and all the various sequels such as Cannonball Run).
Maximillion Cooper started it all up again – he did this by getting 50 (rich) friends together, partying and then going from London to various countries in Europe. The rally has been happening every year since. Loads of celebrities take part in the rally include Jay Kay, Johnny Knoxville and Jodie Kidd.
You can view more information about it on the official site. (The flash version of the site isnt that good – the normal version of the sites good with some good pics).
