By gumball, it's rally time!

Q-Park played host to the start of the 13th Annual Gumball 3000 Rally between London and Istanbul, which set off from its Pall Mall underground car park. Celebrities at the launch included Cameron Diaz, David Hasselhoff and Kanye West.

This year’s Gumball involved eight days driving through eight countries, with check-points and parties in Paris, Barcelona, Venice Belgrade, Sofia and the final destination Istanbul.

Some 120 bays were also reserved at the 205-space Q-Park Trafalgar car park for the supercars during their journey. The car park’s facilities include a car wash to keep the supercars clean, while the drivers’ alcohol levels were checked using Q-Park’s drink-drive monitor to ensure that they were street legal before taking to the wheel.
