The Gumball 3000 is a five day, 3000km, car rally across Europe, from London to Italy and back. The race itself starts in London on April 30 and has over one hundred entrants. Among the participants, from Hollywood will be Billy Zane and Jason Priestly, star of Beverly Hills 90210. Top Supermodels are also taking part, along with members of rock n' roll groups like Jamiroquai. In the Playboy Bunny mobile will be Christina Sibilo, a Dutch Bunny and former Playmate, representing Playboy's newest gaming venture, the Playboy Casino at the Hotel de Roses in Rhodes, Greece, and former German Playmate of the Year Daniela Jambrek. En route across Europe "check points" and overnights are at the finest Chateaus and Castles, with arrival in Italy coinciding with the weekend of the Grand Prix in San Marino. In true Playboy tradition, the new Playboy Casino in Rhodes will host a party at one of the most glamorous locations Europe has to offer. Monte Carlo is the place, and the famous casino (James Bond's favorite hangout) is the venue. On the evening of May 1, the fifty cars will arrive from 10 p.m. onwards and park in the famous Place du Casino. The party will begin at the famous Cafe De Paris Rooftop Terrace and then move on to the Casino where they'll be able to gamble with Playboy Bunnies and Playmates.
