The Gumball 3000 finished in Ibiza last week and news from the South of Spain shows just how compliant the drivers were of the local laws.

Guardia Civil officers in the Comunidad Valenciana dished out over 100 speeding fines during a cross-continental luxury car race.

The Gumball 3000, which started on June 4 in Miami and finished on Thursday, June 12 in Ibiza, covers 5,000 kilometres across the USA, the UK, France and Spain and involves top-of-the-range vehicles of a very high cc.

During the Spanish part of the race, the speed limit was set at 120 kilometres per hour, meaning getting into the lead was more a question of skill, cornering and overtaking than who could go the fastest.

But one driver was caught at 214 kilometres per hour (around 135mph), another carried out dangerous manoeuvres including ‘undertaking’ and using the acceleration lane.

Another was found to be over the alcohol limit and a fourth had been taking drugs, whilst four other cars were found to have speed-camera detectors installed, which is illegal in Spain.

More than 90 others were fined for breaking the speed limit.

The DJ Joel “Deadmau5” Zimmerman finally won the race in his Nyan Cat Ferrari 458.
