2º comunicado:
Following our earlier release reporting yesterday’s accident – As a sign of respect we have decided that this year’s Gumball 3000 Rally will not travel any further and will end in Bratislava this evening, May 3rd 2007.
As the organisers of the rally we feel that it should be stopped as a mark of respect to Vladimir Cepulyoski who died today after an accident involving one the participating drivers.
We are very saddened by what has happened and feel that it would be wrong to continue. On behalf of Gumball 3000, we once again extend our deepest sympathies to his family and we are doing everything we can for them.
This is the first time anything like this has happened in 9 years of travelling through over 40 countries with 1000’s of drivers and it is with deep regret that I make this announcement.

En Jalopnik están dándoles mucha caña. La Gumball había sido rebautizada hace tiempo como Scumball (algo así como la carrera de la escoria)y ahora parece ser su nuevo nombre oficial. Como decías Arpia49 no se puede generalizar puesto que habrá gente que estuviera corriendo con cabeza y sus actos fueran al menos más ético y humanos. Es una lástima que todos los oportunistas aprovechen ya para clamar al cielo por la velocidad y sus peligros, pero no tiene que ver la velocidad con adelantar saltándose cebreados y conducir tras una fiesta devastatadora que no te dejó dormir. Hay grandes diferencias.
