4th-2nd-1st-1st-1st-1st-1st-1st

Not a bad strike for the fist few stops and checkpoints! ;-)

As you can see from of Oskars shots the troopers have been a bit split up over the past few days. Jens, Elias, Oskar and Crill have chosen a more relaxed approach with late starts and long stops. Me and Christian on the other hand are set on one thing- Being first! ;-) We have been crushing it so far with not a single ticket and lots of first places. We are having a far from "social" Gumball and we are so focused on the driving that even music has been eliminated to really be able to focus! On a drive like todays 1200km that gets exhausting but when winning its worth it all!

The tricky part on Gumball is that you can leave when ever you want, so we are trying to wait for a few guys to leave to not be the very first ones, but once they leave we set of as well and try to get the the destinations before them. We usually pass a bunch of guys when they are on the side of the road with police. The key to Gumball is really more about navigation, focus and strategy than high speed!

Another long day to Vegas tomorrow! Time to get some sleep!  make sure to stay updates and see the videos at http://gumball.betsafe.com/

    Jon Olsson & STaSIS & Audi R8 PPI Razor = WINNER

  2. [...] The infamous Gumball 3000 race is going on right now across the United States. Swedish freestyle skiing sensation Jon Olssen shipped his new custom Audi R8 to New York and has been racing it across the country. Apparently he doesn’t just win on the slopes, he is in first place and in a controlling lead of the race. Rumored to have over 700 HP due to the Stasis Engineering supercharger kit, and full custom carbon body kit from PPI, it is no wonder he is leading the race.He has been posting updates to his blog and you can see the latest one here!

    Hey Jon,
    It seems you can’t hide your urge to win. The spirit of a tru sportsman.
    Something totally else, what do you think of Ted Ligety being banned from season 2012-2013 by FIS for speaking his mind? I think, it’s the biggest joke ever in the skisport. I know you’re gumball focused right know, but I would love to hear your opinion.

    peace out,

    What annoys me is that a lot of people sleep too long. It would be more challenging for you when everybody leaves at the same time like in Bullrun.
    From the viewers point it looks like Gumball became boring as the majority of people want to drive in a stupid group and make lunch stops and tank stops together… Totally boring not worth to spend money on anymore.

    Sorry Maximillion but you screwed a good concept up.

    To both Harry and Patty. The thought might not have reached you, but there are some people in this world who are so competitive and therefore want to win everything. So what if this isnt a “race” in its original. But being 1st is still winning, somehow!

  10. Harry says:

    Man why such an obsession for finishing 1st on a rally? Keep that for the slopes.

  11. Mendis says:

    If you said that Patty is because is the first time you know about Gumball. So let Jon do his job! fantastic drive Mr.Olsson

  12. Patty says:

    Did the research for you: The Rally is not a serious race in the traditional sense of rally races – there are no prizes for being fastest or official timekeeping of any sort. Organizers emphasize that it is a road trip adventure and not a race. [wiki]

  13. Patty says:

    Tell me, what’s the point about winning Gumball? Isn’t it supposed to be like a social event where you go cruising, partying etc. together?

  14. Aleksey says:

    Wish you have the same strike in the next ski season!

  15. What happened with your AC??

  16. RDS says:

    Good job & Congratulation again ! Hope you finished 1st on next checkpoint as well !
