The annual Gumball 3000 rally, a rolling 3,000 mile festival of crazy driving and debauchery that features the world’s most exclusive supercars, is set for its new route from Miami to Ibiza in June. This year’s race, which costs about $40,000 to participate in, will travel across two continents and five countries with various parties, concerts and VIP events along the way. The race will start in Miami on June 4 and make stops in New York, Atlanta, Edinburgh, London, Paris, Barcelona and Ibiza, and end on June 11.

Every major supercar marque — including Bugatti, Ferrari, Bentley, Aston Martin and Rolls-Royce — will be represented in this year's event, which was first started back in 1999 by ex-racing driver, designer and British entrepreneur Maximillion Cooper (he also got engaged to singer-actress Eve December of last year). The 2013 rally from Copenhagen to Monaco was won by a team from the United Arab Emirates driving a custom Lamborghini Aventador.

This year’s event is set to be even more hedonistic thanks to a new partnership with AnastasiaDate, a leading international service specializing in beautiful Russian women. Two of the firm’s sexiest “employees” will drive a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder in the race in homage to the 1981 movie Canonball Run. Injuries along the route, which changes every year, are not uncommon — in 2007 there were even two fatalities — and cars worth a small fortune have been confiscated in previous years.
