At other rallies, drivers have been pulled over for speeding, with a small number losing their driving licenses. In the Netherlands participants had a number of cars confiscated. The event has also been known to run into issues in certain countries. The event gained headlines when two members of the public were killed, after their car was hit by an entrant who was speeding on public roads in the Republic of North Macedonia in 2007. The start and finish points are normally notable cities, with London being a common stop-off due to the Gumball 3000's British founder. The rally changes the start and finishing point every year, with some rallies requiring travel by air to make the start and finish points. Since its establishment, the road rally has featured a number of notable drivers, such as Lewis Hamilton, Deadmau5, David Hasselhoff, Xzibit, Usher and Tinie Tempah. It was established in 1999 by Maximillion Cooper, with his vision to combine cars, music, fashion and entertainment.
