Gumball 3000 comes to Belfast

[Jonny_W]

I'll be in Dublin on Saturday for a good look around the exotics on display! Looking forward to it and maybe seeing a few of them out and about that night.

You staying overnight @Harry also seen the motor sitting today. Looks well

We had initially planned to stay but going to get dinner a few drinks then head back. Wanna to catch the TSCC meet early Sunday morning also.

 

[steaa]

Will they be actually stopping in Belfast or just driving straight through on the way to the docks ?

 

[Jonny_W]

Going by Instagram they aren't hanging about Belfast as they said they are starting in Dublin then straight to Edinburgh. I would guess they are on the afternoon boat.

 

[vtec1]

wonder how many will end up in divis

I entered the low rent modball rally a few years ago and it was great craic

I read titanic quarter from 12 to 4 on 1st May, I pray that's true as been excited for weeks.

 

[Tufty]

I see some cars have already started to land.

thats more than likely the cannonball ireland rally cars coming back last night from scotland, lambo, 458, 2 McLaren SLRs etc

 

[Tufty]

@thornracing your more than likely spot on with that one.

 

[Lyons]

Where are said checkpoints? Are they stopping between Dublin and Belfast or is my best bet just to park on the flyover at Hillsborough?!

 

[Sonny]

They have an event page on FB for Belfast

My plans are head to Dublin on the Saturday and over the boarder to find a spot to watch them passing.

 

[Bilal]

Will be visiting this in Edinburgh this Sunday cars are to arrive about 6PM apparently

 

[davey-dimples]

[warren]

[Tufty]

[dave b]

The cars are all out on display on Saturday so far as I know then leaving on Sunday, wasn't like that when I was there in London, they did both the same day! I'm sure it's worth a look though!

 

[stuartyvilla]

Does anyone recommend a place to stand (safely of course) and get some pics of them coming up or even at Belfast Docks, not too sure of anywhere to get some pics, looking forward to it I must admit! some class metal going! This Matte blue F12 TDF for starters!

It's strange @Tufty as they are arriving in Edinburgh at 6pm minus travel time including boat. I can't see them hanging about to long in Belfast.

 

[warren]

Shmee did a video explaining the route and the impression I got was that they are just driving through

An update on there page would not go a miss they mention the first pit stop is Belfast but if there trying to get to Edinburgh for 6pm they will be really hard pushed for time. Tho I will enjoy following them from Newry to Belfast.

ill be down saturday and sunday as ive a VIP Media pass, cars are only passing through belfast there getting the 4pm boat, so the few front runner cars might hang around the docks before they need to get on the boat, but i doubt the guys in the Yugos will get much spare time to hang around lol
