UPDATE

  After the events occuring on this years Gumball Rally, we have 

  unfortunately lost the backing of our main sponsor, and with it 

  the prospect of the media partnership that was involved.

  At this late stage, finding a new sponsor  is not possible. As the

  funding provided by this sponsorship was crucial to the success

  of this event, it is now effectively cancelled. All deposits have

  been returned.

  It is a most unfortunate outcome, as the response has been very

  good, and appologies to all hoping to participate.

  This however is not the end of the beginning of the Gobstopper

  Rally.  Next years event it being looked into with a different

  approach. Rather than trying to go all out for a spectacle event,

  it will be far more low key, with fewer teams and lower costs.

  The rally will not be reliant upon sponsorship, and all the teams

  will be able to contribute to the route and itinary. I believe this

  approach will result in a fun, spirited event that will give the

  Gobstopper a firm grounding with the potential to grow over the

  years.

   If you would like to be kept informed as this progresses, please

  let me know by filling in the enquiry form, or email me direct at

  stuart@gobstoppersrally.com

  Thanks again for all your interest.

What is the Gobstopper Rally?

The UK 2007 Gobstopper Rally is the first premier rally based solely in the UK, from GSR UK, styled around the famous Gumball Rally format. The Gobstopper Rally hopes to succeed in bringing this type of event to the UK.

From Saturday 15th September, to Saturday 22nd September inclusive, we will be covering 2000 miles plus, across Great Britain, from city driving, to country lanes, and everything in between. Visiting 8 destinations with a great party at each, including top name DJs’ and live artists, in a selection of top venues. Accommodation including breakfast and evening meals will all be included.

The Rally is open to all, as long as you are over 21, hold a full valid driving license, and agree to the Terms and Conditions.

You do not need a “super car” to enter although an event of this type tends to attract sports and classic cars.

Get that VIP feeling!

The VIP treatment begins when you arrive at the Rally starting point, Torquay, on Day 1 (September 15^th). You will be greeted with Champaign and canapés, while you car is hand washed, and our vehicle graphics team prepare it for the Rally.

You will later be treated to dinner at the hotel, where you will be formally greeted by the Event organisers and given a team briefing. Later that evening you will be whisked off by limousine to the Gobstopper Rally opening bash.

And so sets the scene for the first Gobstopper Rally.

The excellent service you receive will be continued throughout the Event. There will be 2 support teams running ahead of the Rally, to ensure start/finish lines are setup, hotels are ready and waiting for us, and the evening events go without a hitch.

There will be various prizes given out during the course of the Event, and memorable gifts given to all at the end.

The prizes will have no correlation to how fast you drive. This is a rally not a race. We also strongly recommend your team comprises of at least 2 drivers. This will give you the opportunity to share the morning driving and avoid getting caught out being over the limit from the night before. The Organisers feel strongly on both of these issues. Please see Terms and Conditions.
