Actualy the only rules are time rules. You have to complete certain sections in certain time alotments and the driver to get the time closest to the set time wins the leg. Who ever wins most legs "wins" the rally.

The drivers are told speeding is up to them, so they face the consequences of their actions. So sadly some drivers have been pulled over and arrested. Its always a shame to see someone crash. Specially when most of those cars are worth more than 6 figures

I thought the Gumball 3000 was based after the Cannonball Run.Max Cooper brought toghether 50 of his freinds and the drove for 3000 miles across Europe back in 1999.
