==Rally History==

=== 1999–2004 ===
The Gumball 3000 was first launched in 1999. Maximillion Cooper started the event after he and a group of friends aimed to drive their [[supercar]]s across Europe on a 3,000 mile journey that they referred to as a rally. The rally was aimed at friends of Cooper, with an initial entry fee of $8,700. Participants had to use their own vehicles.<ref>{{Cite web |date=16 August 2023 |title=The Story of The Gumball 3000: The World's Most Lavish Rally |url=https://coolmaterial.com/rides/the-story-of-the-gumball-3000-the-worlds-most-lavish-race/ |website=Cool Material}}</ref>
[[File:Gumball 1999 A 7 I.jpg|thumb|The first Gumball 3000 rally, 1999.]]
The first event took inspiration from a number of racing events throughout the world. In 1933, [[motorcycle]] racer, [[Erwin Baker]], had crossed the United States coast-to-coast in 54 hours. He earned the nickname "Cannonball" which spawned a number of race events in both the United States and Europe over the next few decades in his honor. The Cannonball events were held in the 1970s, with the first prize being a [[gumball machine]]. It has been suggested that this is the origin of the Gumball 3000 brand name.<ref name="History of the Gumball 3000 Rally">{{cite web|title=History of the Gumball 3000 Rally|url=http://www.gumball3000.ro/history/|website=Gumball 3000 Romania}}</ref>

The first event took place in 1999, with the journey starting in London and heading to [[Rimini]], Italy before returning to London.<ref name=":0">{{cite web|title=David Hasselhoff to join Gumball Rally in Capital|url=http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/david-hasselhoff-to-join-gumball-rally-in-capital-1-3395293/|website=Edinburgh Evening News}}</ref> Cooper planned different events on each night of the rally, ranging from parties to dinner events. The rally received extensive coverage in the British media due to the attendance of a number of high-profile figures including [[Kate Moss]], [[Guy Ritchie]] and [[Kylie Minogue|Kylie]] & [[Dannii Minogue|Dannii]] Minogue.<ref name="itbegan">{{cite web |title=All about Gumball 3000 |url=https://www.dubizzle.com/blog/cars/gumball-3000/ |website=Dubizzle|date=28 November 2022 }}</ref>
