Gumball start in Thailand

The start in Phuket Thailand -
The race to find fuel. Here is the start of the Gumball on the first day in Thailand. The cars were loaded on the Russian antonovs in Belgrade Serbia with little to no fuel. Our fuel was run down even further when the cars were loaded on the planes. When we picked up the Tork GT the fuel gage was BELOW empty!


We had to use our Gumball Spirit, to get to a fuel station as quickly as possible, not run out of gas, not get lost in a non-english speaking country and then find our way to Bangkok and get their first before the other 120 cars.

We quickly learned the Gumball lane was off limits in Thailand. Scooters are everywhere and safety is our #1 concern. Luckily we were prepared for this and was running High Intensity blue/amber LED flashers and had a very loud siren
