If you've ever had a chance to catch the Gumball 3000 Supercar rally you know it's a ton of fun! Today, olloclip annnounced its official partnership with the rally joining the drivers from Stockholm to Las Vegas that's taking place May 23 to 30, 2015. More than 100 supercars will be participating in the seven-day transcontinental driving tour. To capture the journey, olloclip is supplying all particpants with their latest mobile photo lenses.
This year, participants include superstars like F1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton, David Hasselhoff, Tony Hawk, deadmau5, Tommy Lee, Dolph Lundgren, Tyson Beckford, Afrojack and Diplo along side world royalty. Filled with exclusive parties, concerts and race circuits covering 3000 miles of road through mountains, desert and the breathtaking Californian Pacific Coast Highway -- you can count on some pretty spectacular coverage!
The Gumball 3000 entry grid showcases an incredible array of vehicles from vintage classics to futuristic hybrid hypercars and some of the most pimped out rides from drivers from around the world. This year's line up will include Ferrari LaFerrari, Porsche 918 Spyder, Ferrari F50, Pagani Huayra, McLaren P1, Tesla Roadster, E-Type Jaguar, and even Knight Rider's KITT and the DeLorean DMC12 from Back to the Future.

The Gumball 3000 was founded in 1999 by British entrepreneur Maximillion Cooper. Originally Cooper invited his influential friends to join him on a driving adventure across Europe, hosting glamourous parties attended by A-listers. The event immediately gained a reputation as one of the most desired parties to attend.The event evolved into a popular brand and global entertainment company attracting a wider audience through events and licensed goods.
The Gumball 3000 Foundation hosts charity auctions throughout the event to support multiple educational and recreational focused projects around the world giving underprivileged youth greater opportunities in life. Charity partners include The Nelson Mandela Children's Fund, The Tony Hawk Foudnation, and The Sir Simon Milton Foundation.
You can track their epic adventure by following @olloclip and @gumball3000 on social media. Even better if you can be there in person. I had a chance to catch it one year as the cars rumbled through Yorkville in Toronto late one night. It was beyond cool. Unfortunately Gumball 3000 will not be venturing in our direction this year but maybe I should plan a quick trip to Vegas? Who's in?
