After a party-trip over the ocean on board of specially reserved and prepared airplanes, the racers made their way from Edinburgh early this morning down through Manchester, en-route to London for the next stage of the crazy supercars race. Before starting the European half of the rally, the racers were welcomed with brunches and a carpet of rubber and smoke, at the checkpoint.
The 100 racers made it safe from one continent to the other Sunday morning after taking a long flight over the ocean. Celebrities and rich people all over the world have partied once again, only this time it was up in the air.

While the Lambos, McLarens, Ferraris and all the other crazy rides were put together in cargo planes, the gang of celebrities and high-wheel people ended up drinking and having a good time on their way for the other half of the race: the European leg.

When they arrived at Edinburgh, a nice Scottish brunch was waiting for them. After everybody was fully refueled, the crazy luxury cars were again lined up to start the European part of the 3,000 miles (4,828 km) race. Only this time, a biker that led down a carpet of rubber and smoke at the beginning of it was taking the lead.

During the day the Gumball 3000 teams went south to Manchester over at the City’s Football Club, were they enjoyed their first lunchtime checkpoint of the European half of the rally. Manchester was another knot where the beasts motors ran high and the grudges would entertain the fans. At night they've arrived at British capital where they spend another crazy night.
