Gainsborough set for international map!

Over 120 ‘supercars’ will cover 16 countries and 2 continents during the race, which is famous for attracting the international jet set, with Hugh Hefner, Jodie Kidd, Caprice, Johnny Knoxville, Snoop Dogg, Fun Loving Criminals, Jamiroquai and Kylie Minogue amongst the regular participants.

The race kicks off with a launch party in Pall Mall in London tomorrow evening (Friday, 27 April), but the Marshall’s Yard car will begin its journey earlier during the day, setting off from Marshall’s Yard at 1.30 pm.

The car is being driven by Marcus Lund, son of John Lund of Prospect Estates joint developers of Marshall’s Yard with Dransfield Properties.

Mark Dransfield, Managing Director of Marshall’s Yard Ltd said: “The gumball rally attracts extensive media coverage and we’re delighted that Marcus has chosen to adorn his car with the Marshall’s Yard logo.  Who knows, maybe the celebrities involved in the race might be encouraged to make a visit to the town!”
