The Chase to the Gumball 3000 Finish Line in Tokyo!

The Gumball 3000: A Journey Across Europe and Japan

Unfortunately for this policeman, it doesn't think he's going to get many of us going at speed right now in this horrendous traffic jam. We literally have 45 minutes or so of traffic right now to get into Tokyo, the complete road is chock-a-blocked and well, it's the least efficient progress we think we've made on the entire rally. He's just chilling back there and you're probably fed up with the traffic, oh I'm loving it top speed yeah great driving experience yes pushing the GTR to the max, I can feel the grip and somewhere by the way guys over that away is Mount Fuji, i know there's a wall and some houses so you can't see it but it's in this direction we're not actually gonna go there we're gonna continue straight to Tokyo to actually deal with the fact that we're significantly delayed.

Sneaky sneaky policeman just up there, i say sneaky he's not actually that sneaky because we can see him, but he's probably getting a look down on the road just making sure everything is in order. This is very quickly turning into the day of police on gumball, police cars everywhere i mean how many have we seen like four those are just the ones that i think the cameras rolled on, there have been tons more and another one one more policeman everywhere they are really out to get us today, i don't know what that says in his rear window but it's interesting that it says "police" in a language we can read.

The red lights are fun, just let's not get any trouble with them. This truck is basically a center, it's got glass doors and it's cerulean blue well almost cerulean blue, that would be a nice choice wouldn't it? And again another one check out this sky over Tokyo so where we're arriving now is the famous Daikoku Futo which is over there, where every weekend you get the craziest of car meets going on with Lamborghinis with bright lights and that kind of thing. Now they do close it when it gets very busy but we're hoping if we keep going about five minutes time we will get to the location and fingers crossed we're going to be able to enter i guess that's Tokyo over there.

Our last bit of open road driving until we get to the final venue for now, Japan definitely has a big reputation for these sky-high flyovers that we're currently going around so we came across that bridge we've done a full circle around here, we're now going underneath ourselves and then we've got another full circle to get all the way around. Look at this, we think spaghetti junction in the uk is crazy but this is absolutely ridiculous, this is i mean i've seen pictures of videos of this before but now we're actually arriving super cool we're definitely in the right place because that is a Ford GT with a 40 on the number plate very apt.

Look at those guys, the camera's not in focus but that was Lamborghinis with some bright lights under them. Look what's going on up there this is it lots of lambos lots of lights lots of revving we need to see some of this in a second well that was as fun as i hoped but you'll have to stay tuned to see what's happened on our arrival in Tokyo but for now what an epic adventure we've had even today just culminating this rally from London to Tokyo to where we are now at our hotel surrounded by so many cars they're all in the 918 you can hear the noises of the venture doors in the background over there but the lines of Gumball cars some being ready to be taken off now back to their homes back to different destinations but we've had a lot of fun with so many of these cars over the last week it's been a true adventure going from europe all the way to the other side of the world with all of the cars over 100 cars taking part for the last couple of days have truly wrapped up what it's like to take part in the Gumball 3000 what it's like to do this epic and extraordinary adventure.

It's 20th anniversary now from London to Tokyo here we are we're in Japan what a journey it's been so thank you very much guys for following, thank you i hope you've enjoyed these videos my coverage of this year's rally this year's journey, thank you to Mercedes-Benz and the opportunity to drive in the AMG GT-R out here as well of course as my GTR, I don't know what that's an Aventador but it's Tokyo, i'm looking forward to the coming days out here what a journey, thanks again guys, thank you Gumball, thank you everybody who's been part of these videos and i will see you again next time cheers.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi guys i'm shmee hello to you good morning welcome back to the channel welcome to the final day of the 2018 gumball 3000 we've gone all the way from london so far through down to italy flown over to japan driven to nanao where we are now but today we're gonna reach the finish line in tokyo now as you can see around me the grid is already pretty empty most cars have gone on the road so we need to jump into the amg gtr from mercedes-benz japan today we've got a checkpoint but a fairly long drive about 500 kilometers to get to that finish line let's get in the car get day started and see if we can play catch up a lot of people have turned out to see the gumballers depart this morning and if you look through there you can see that the lfa is back alongside the 300sl the lfa had some customs problems good to see he's been able to rejoin and the chiron is also tucked into the corner there if you can just about see that through the crowds but as we come around we were also joined yesterday by quite a few other cars just coming along for the day we've got an lp 640 and an aventador sv right there um this side of the grid is basically empty and we're going to navigate people and buses and things to get out on the roads to get out of here and on to the next stages thank you very much everyone here in the now it's time to make it to tokyo we've got at least one thing on our side because last night just before we arrived like two kilometers away we filled up the car so we've got a full tank which hopefully means that when other gumballers pull in to fill up theirs that will give us a small amount of catch-up time although saying that i'm going to use a little bit more being in the noisier mode just because it sounds so good who doesn't want that anyway we've got a little bit of traffic so our first stop is a place called fukashi shrine that is the checkpoint for today it's about four hours from here to there navigating this journey has been kind of interesting i think we can say given all the signs in japanese that i do not understand to save my life unfortunately so it's a case of we're going left or right and hoping that the slip road goes in the direction you expect it to anyway this might be quite a long drive today let's just hope we managed to catch up with some other gun ballers along the way so we've got to stay on the something for 36 kilometers until we take the exit to somewhere now i know obviously that that does say something but it's very much beyond me what it is however behind us we now have two gunballers that have caught us up and we think there might even be one that is currently in front uh we couldn't quite tell there are some stickers on a ferrari california up ahead but we weren't sure if it's a double sticker or if it's just a ferrari that's joining but behind us we have the s63 and we have another california which are gumball cars in full so nice little pack then to cruise cool crowds so we're coming up towards a toll which is where hopefully we're going to have the benefit again of our etc card it's called a card that's inserted and installed into a system inside this car which is the total system here in japan so the californians in front of us will probably have to get a ticket and deal with picking that up because we can cruise straight through you see the system mostly goes wrong when there isn't a dedicated etc lane because we're gonna have to sit behind him when he gets a ticket however he won't be able to get away from us that's at least one little part because we don't have to reach out and do what he's doing right now check this out on the map that we're about to drive past look at that road i'm kind of tempted to go and explore and see what that actually looks like think we should do it uh uh yeah why he's nobody come not other way please nobody come the other way okay maybe this is a bit narrow about 15 hairpins later and believe it or not we actually just saw a gumballer going the other way another gtr and i bet he had the exact same thought that we did saw it on the map and thought hey let's go up there so the road surface is not necessarily the best but the view from up here is truly breathtaking what we're looking down at i mean this is an example of the road surface right here um a little bit cautious and steady but pretty good fun lots of people up here i guess it's a big tourist spot wherever we are and this car although huge and very very wide has its four-wheel steering which makes it perfect for darting up and down and the last hairpin before we're back at the bottom i think that was an interesting diversion always fun to drive a road like this but the tarmac out here as you can probably tell from how much we bounce around is just really not very good everywhere you go it's rough chopped up but back on the normal route in one second and then we will go from there on towards mount fuji we've found another of the gumball amg gtrs the gtrs from team masters of speed i'm going to catch up with them so that's three of the gtrs in the space of a couple minutes i guess we can include ours all exploring enjoying the roads the views look at this look how steep the hills are covered in trees everywhere spectacular scenery and obviously that means meandering roads that go around the sculpture of the land we've got ourselves some gumballers in fact a couple of cars so the s63 from the ukraine we have the california the white priority california that is a local car and then behind me maybe if i tuck to the left lane going past on your side we all have oh no right behind us the indian guys in the 911 carrera s the noisy ridiculous thing with this rap that is so psychedelic in terms of its colors it's unreal so let's see if we can get them alongside us somewhere in a second and take a better look at this so cool look at the colors of that thing absolutely insane so they brought their car just into perspective from india to london drove from london to italy flown it to japan to drive around japan and then the car is going to go back to india and it's really not just any car in fact the wrap they've used it's like some kind of building material i've been led to believe it's not actually vinyl wrap so to get it shaped around the car like that is really pretty crazy and the whole thing to be honest just looks absurd so where are we going it's entirely sure but in any case i am happy to be driving as a small group of gun ballers that car is so loud oh and that is the gtr that passed us on the road earlier so he didn't get here any quicker even though we were going up the hill at that point then we came back down but navigation hey we've got here on good time so i think the checkpoint is right up in front of us this is a shrine in the center of fukashi and obviously we're being directed by the local police security to make sure that we all go in the right direction unless arriving behind another gumballer is always fun especially another gtr team demon with their bonnet open again they literally have the worst luck with things going wrong with the color thank you very much nice to see you so this is a fun little place to be entering i guess we have a grid to park up inside hello cool i like this this is where you get to see all these mysterious cars that we haven't seen during the day that are taking part in fact many cars that we haven't really driven with very much at all mansory 12c on the right slr z8 on the left oh that's silver gtrs i'd forgotten that was even on the rally we've got team alpha with our two purple alphas up ahead of us where are we being sent around this way this is very traditional japanese right here's our lunch stop then we've just had a quick bite to eat but we're going to get straight back on the roads you can see the 918 gt2 rs both here db11 plenty of cars around and about including the new york police car but we're going to swap drivers ben will take the wheel now in the gtr we've got a few hours to head via mount fuji towards the final stop in tokyo it feels crazy to be saying that but that's what's coming up this evening and we get the benefits of our utc lane those guys have to get a ticket we drive straight through and see you later yeah sneaky way to start off so we keep to the left here towards tokyo that's our first sign i think that has said we're going to tokyo fantastic good times and exciting times because it's only a couple more hours and we make it to the finish line here's something cool to show you we have a group inside telegram so the gumballers group and the teams that have chosen to share their live location can all be seen in here so we started off this morning in na now up there and obviously we're heading towards tokyo where the first gumballers have arrived if we zoom all the way in you can see where we are there's a big group of cars just coming that we're going to try and meet up with as we pull on out in a second but we're actually not going straight into tokyo we're going to a famous location where a big car meet is held but let's get out on the road meet some gumballers and continue we're being well and truly purpolized right now now blinking red lights that probably means we're being monitored in some form carefully does it guys unfortunately for this policeman i don't think he's going to get many of us going at speed right now in this horrendous traffic jam we literally have 45 minutes or so of traffic right now to get into tokyo the complete road is chock-a-blocked and well it's the least efficient progress i think we've made on the entire rally and he's just chilling back there and you're probably fed up with the traffic oh i'm loving it top speed yeah great driving experience yes pushing the gtr to the max i can feel the grip and somewhere by the way guys over that away is mount fuji i know there's a wall and some houses so you can't see it but it's in this direction we're not actually gonna go there we're gonna continue straight to tokyo to actually deal with the fact that we're significantly delayed sneaky sneaky policeman just up there i say sneaky he's not actually that sneaky because we can see him but he's probably getting a look down on the road just making sure everything is in order this is very quickly turning into the day of police on gumball police cars everywhere i mean how many have we seen like four those are just the ones that i think the cameras rolled on there have been tons

our hotel surrounded by so many cars they're all in the 918 you can hear the noises of the venture doors in the background over there but the lines of gumball cars some being ready to be taken off now back to their homes back to different destinations but we've had a lot of fun with so many of these cars over the last week it's been a true adventure going from europe all the way to the other side of the world with all of the cars over 100 cars taking part for the last couple of days have truly wrapped up what it's like to take part in the gumball 3000 what it's like to do this epic and
