The origin of the name ‘Gumball 3000’ can be traced back to Andy Warhol, who described a gumball as similar to chewing a piece of gum – people do it because they want to; there is no complex reason. Gumball 3000 is a gathering of people who want to have fun and live a life full of excitement; there is no other reason than to have fun.

The number ‘3000’ refers to the distance that participants have to drive, which is approximately 3,000 miles (approximately 4,900 kilometres) through several countries on a route that changes every year, making the event filled with challenges and new experiences for participants.

Before the wheels start turning on September 18, a party will rage on from 3pm to 10pm, featuring music from popular DJs with various activities offering unique experiences for all visitors. The party is poised to connect people of all backgrounds through a common love for all things cars.

In addition, the fun party is expected to create a memorable experience and become a great tool in promoting tourism that will help drive the economy forward for the cities that the Gumball 3000 passes through.
