OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
This year's Gumball will commence on Friday 21st July at 21:00 (UTC+1) and will run for two weeks, concluding on Friday 4th August at 21:00 (UTC+1).
Team registrations will open on Monday 3rd July at 18:00 (UTC+1), 5 days before individual registrations on Friday 7th July at 18:00 (UTC+1).
This means that teams have priority over ALL tickets, passes and bundles for 5 days prior to Individual registrations opening.
All event announcements will be posted in this thread.
Server one is now sold out for the opening night!
Any new team signups may still apply for server
Two bundles.
See the opening night guest list
here.
Individual signups open tomorrow evening (Friday 7th July) at 18:00 UTC+1.
If you have any questions regarding your signup or another general query about Gumball, I am hosting another Q&A session on Discord and TeamSpeak tonight at 20:00 UTC+1.
Please do not leave your preparation to the last minute as we will be less likely to respond to your messages in a timely fashion once signups open due to the flood of signups.
Individual signups are now open.
You must register your team or individual signups before the rally starts in 2 weeks time.
7 days left to register your
individual and
team signups for Gumball.
We currently have 81 signups and 13 teams and the prize pot currently sits at €4.998m.
This year we have 2 live trackers which serve different purposes:
Adorable has made an in-game InSim tracker which displays the car ahead of you and behind you in the overall distance challenge as well as your own position and driven distance. This will be useful for people who only have one screen and can't have the web live tracker open whilst driving.

InSim Live Tracker by Adorable
Once again the web live tracker will be available throughout the rally for use on mobile and desktop browsers. It is useful for those who have multiple screens and for if you want to check the current standings whilst you're not in-game. Please note that this is the only tracker with the team standings displayed.

Everyone who is attending the opening night event will now have received their server password via PM.
Please note that there are still spaces left for the opening night event on server two so it's not too late to buy one. Just post in individual signups that you wish to purchase a server two opening night ticket (if you haven't already signed up, you will need to do that first).
Server One and Two will shortly be closed ready for Gumball. If you have purchased a Event Pass and are still awaiting a PM with your password, please PM me ASAP!
Server One and Server Two are now online. Please feel free to connect!
Following our decision to
lock the CityDriving servers and pause the Gumball, people will have questions relating to how this affects their position. Here are some answers:
The countdown will continue to run. Your position will not change until the CityDriving servers reopen. As is the nature of a situation like this, we do not yet know when we will be able to open the servers but we will of course notify you of when this is likely to be when we know more.
If the server situation cannot be rectified before the 7 or 14 day challenge ends then the final positions will be as they appear on the
live tracker.
Apologies for the inconvenience but in the interest of fairness I'm afraid we had no choice.
