Hi there,
Was anybody in for it ... or has anybody spotted them on their way from london to rome???
link: (http://www.cannonball8000.com/cannonball8000.htm)
I've read and heard a few things about it on tv and on a few homepages - but it seems that this event hasn't really attracted a lot of attention.
link to AUSTRIAN homepage with infos from local police: (http://www.rundschau.co.at/artikel/00/03/74/art37423.html)
Link to another AUSTRIAN (so just in german) homepage about race: (http://www.tirol.com/chronik/unterland/19811/index.do) short translation of last link:
one of the racers could get caught while doing at about 217 km/h on the A12 in Tyrol. There were at least 100 cars that seemed to belong to the group of "cannonball 8000" - racers, but most of them drove regulately.
but ... although there were these few news items i could find in austria ... nobody really knew much of this race -> when compared to the gumball -> well ... there was much more pr about it.
well ... in my opinion there are too much of such events going on every year.
