Good morning Gumballers!
The team have been busy preparing for this year's Gumball and we've just opened up the Gumball 2017 Forum.
If this is your first Gumball, please take some time to read the Beginner's Guide to Gumball and About Gumball threads.
If you're a seasoned Gumballer but need a quick refresher, please take a look at our updated About Gumball thread.
The real Gumball started yesterday and will be making its way south through Europe from Riga to Mykonos over the next 7 days. If you need inspiration for your skins, visit the official Gumball 3000 website or check out the #Gumball3000 hashtag on Twitter for videos and pictures of the stars and their cars. We have released our 2017 skin decals pack which includes all sponsors of this year's official rally. That thread also contains the decals from the previous 8 rallies if you would like to mix and match or create a replica from a previous year. Please note that skins are only mandatory if you're registering as a team.
Signups for this year's event will be opening next week:
Team Signups Open: Monday 3rd July @ 18:00 UTC+1
Individual Signups Open: Friday 7th July @ 18:00 UTC+1
To help prepare you for your signup, we have created a Registration Preparation thread.
This should give you all the information you need before you submit your signup.
Before asking questions, please take time to read through the various threads in the Gumball 2017 Forum. If you still have questions, please ask them in the questions thread or join Teamspeak or Discord tonight from 20:00 UTC+1 where I will be leading a questions and answers session for this year's event. If you have anything you need answering, today is the time to ask!
Drive as a team or on your own, get your paint brushes out or ask someone to make you a skin. Whatever you do, get ready to start your engines because it's Gumball season and we're going to try and make it bigger and better than ever!
Cheers,
The [TC] Team
