Tonight we had the big kick off party and it was great to see and meet some of you! It is now 4:am London time and the rally starts in 12 hours! Anyone excited yet?
So the car is basically prepped! We have the last minute stuff mostly done, the stickering looks great and we are ready for the rally! The Torqk GT has had some of the most comments this year and everyone is excited to see how we’ll do and what we might have up our sleeves. This will be a very interesting and memorable Gumball 3000!
Tomorrow the cars all go on display about 12:00 PM on Pall Mall. We have a drivers meeting in the early afternoon and we are scheduled to be in our cars and ready to go at 4:pm. We should be leaving between 4:30pm and 6:pm. Jodi Kidd will be dropping the green flag (rumors of the Queen of England ended up only being rumors) and we will have one hell of a night! Our first check point is Belgium for a 10 minute bite to eat, and then we’re back on the road heading for Vienna! No need to stop and sleep or eat too long as Tork is half machine after all!
Check out live streaming info on http://live.gumball3000.com. Out sat nav will be labeled “Team Tork” for everyone to follow! Fans follow from home, other drivers will follow our path….if they can!
We look forward to seeing everyone at the ceremonies tomorrow, along the way, and look forward to us being first at the finish line!

It is 5:am, April 28th 2006 and the big race is only hours away. We have prepared the car, installed some new hardware, tested out equipment and we are race ready!
The last few days in a secret location we have been preparing the vehicle for Torquenstein with all the necessary equipment needed to be a contended in this years Gumball. We have some tough competition but we hope to place well to satisfy our fans. We picked up the vehicle from the auto transport and it is hidden deep in our secret laboratory waiting to be displayed in Trafalgar Square on Saturday. Come down and see the Torquenstein GT. There is a rumor that Tork and I, (Dr Gruene) will be somewhere in the city of London Saturday enjoying our time away from the laboratory.
We have met some of the other teams of both veterans and green horns and we are all looking forward to the race. We met team a Team Dezastion from Flordia on our long journey into London the other day and they will be assisting us with some logistics this year! A big thanks from Tork to Team Dezastion, new to Gumball but eager to win! We had a meet and greet with a big fan this evening and got some great information out. We shared some top secret information with some of the other Gumballers 2 days ago and that should give us a huge edge over the competition. We have some inside info on the US part of the rally! More details to come after the story develops!
I have attached a picture of the cockpit of the new GT. Some of the picture has been altered as to keep certain parts of the car top secret! We look forward to seeing everyone at the car display this coming Saturday and throught London. Also be sure to come for the launch of the rally on Sunday. Also, for all the fans along the rout fo the rally, come out and visit us at the check points and help us win this years Gumball 3000!

Rumors have been circulating if I Torquenstein will be running in the 2006 Gumball 3000 Rally. After a long hibernation, I am officially announcing the emergence of Torquenstein as an entrant in the 2006 Gumball. Our Team will consist of myself, Tork along with my new doctor/co-driver/navigator Dr. Gruene. We will be running in a brand new Ferrari Killing Ford GT...
In addition we have installed a few TOP SECRET items in the GT that have never before been used or seen on Gumball. This will not only give our team a big edge on the competition but also those who dare to try and stop Torquenstein...
If you happen to encounter our team during any of the pitstops or checkpoints. Be sure to stop and say hi and pose for pictures. |

That is right. You can now own a piece of Gumball/Torquenstein History. The worst crash ever in a Gumball 3000 Rally, and I, Tork walked away.
