De allereerste editie ging door het leven als de Student Gumball Rally waaraan ik en nog 2 andere teams van hier op het forum aan deelgenomen hebben.
Voor mij persoonlijk was dit een ervaring om nooit te vergeten!
Vorig jaar is de naam veranderd naar Student Brake Away omdat het Gumball 3000 HQ lastig deed. Maar de route sprak mij niet aan, wat rondtoeren in Spanje, dus ik heb het aan mij laten voorbijgaan.
Achteraf heb ik er wel spijt van gehad dus daarom dat ik mijn best ga doen om dit jaar terug mee te doen.
De route lijkt mij alvast super!
Vertrek is zoals altijd in Dover
Sunday 31 August 2008 - Antwerp, Belgium
You know the way we like to kick it off by now - a bit of parking, a bit of paperwork, a bit of a speech and then it's out of the traps and on to the ferry to Calais. Addicted to tradition and progress in equal measure, Belgium can often seem both boring and more than a little bit mad, but in the places they get it right they set an example the rest of "Old Europe" could do well to follow. A liberal, forward thinking city steeped in baroque architecture - your parents know Antwerp for its diamonds and chocolate, you will come to know it for some of the dirtiest night-life in northern Europe.
Monday 1 September 2008 - Interlaken, Switzerland
Does Switzerland really hate drivers? There's only one way to find out. We're not going to pretend that Interlaken is some massive rave capital with an Amstel tap on every washbasin, but it's definitely one of the most picturesque sites we've visited with the event and everyone should wake up to 'That View' at least once in their life. There's still plenty to do for those teams dedicated to hitting it 24/7, but with 8 to 10 hours of driving to get through on Day 3 we would advise taking in the Alpine views over a few quiet beers rather than pulling an all-nighter. Having said that, you ARE meant to be on holiday...
Tuesday 2 September 2008 - Jesolo, Italy
There's something for everyone today as we go from snow to surf in a few short hours, if by "a few" you mean "many" and "short" you mean "oh-my-god-i-should've-gone-to-ibiza". The hardcore drivers will no doubt be busting a nut over tackling the now legendary Stelvio Pass, recently decreed by HRH Jeremy Clarkson to be the best driving road in the world, while others will be saving themselves to test Jesolo's reputation as the party capital of Italy. Whatever your priority, the evening of Day 3 has traditionally always gone off in a big way, and with many of Jesolo's beach side bars and clubs open until dawn we see no reason to doubt that theme will continue this year - bring it on.
Wednesday 3 September 2008 - Ljubljana, Slovenia
Everyone hits the wall on Day 4 so don't feel too embarrassed about it. Luckily it's only a short and very pleasant jaunt up the road to Ljubljana, which means the wussy ones can stay in bed while the rest can take their time to explore this often ignored corner of Europe. Slovenia has been part of pretty much every country in Europe at some point, but rather than turning the place in to a lobotomised Germany (like Austria), we're left with an unassumingly charming nation and people who are just as comfortable tearing it up as they are chilling out.
Thursday 4 / Friday 5 September 2008 - Medulin, Croatia
In 2006 Croatia played host to the close of the first and last Student Gumball Rally, for better or for worse indelibly marking the minds of those involved forever. Greeted initially by police escorts and baton charges yet waved off home as local heroes, it really was a fittingly bizarre end to the most bizarre of adventures. This time round we're finishing on the Medulin riviera, a fishing village turned tourist resort on the Istrian peninsula. The whole area is stunning and you'll get to experience the best of it first hand as the SBA sets up camp for the final two nights on its very own island paradise. Golden sands, turquoise waters... more than you'd get in Grimsby that's for sure.
