    49. Rachel Hutchins @ 00:08, 4/02

      Ben is a good friend of mine as I know that year after year his efforts taking part in the Dakar are dually noted, but I know that his dream is to drive in such a prestigious event as the Gumball. He is one of the most dedicated person I know and his passion and ability in rallying is something that should be experienced by so many more.

    85. Ben Gott @ 14:56, 14/02

      GUMBALL BABY… Thank you to everybody who have voted so far, really appreciate it. Great comments, a bit more about me: –

      I have petrol in by blood. I’m an experienced Land Rover and Race vehicle mechanic and have been driving since I could reach the pedals. I started rally navigation at 16 and then off road racing at 18, and have now worked my way up the ladder, and I’m very proud to say that I was seeded 6th in the UK last year. I was also asked in 2004 to be a member of a Dakar Rally assistance team and have been involved ever since.

      I’ve been dreaming of doing the Gumball 3000 for the last decade, and feel like it’s a home calling. I was born to Gumball and feel I can excel in every aspects – if you know what I mean!

      If you haven’t voted for me so far, please do – help me spread the spirit

      More about me: –

      Ben is an entertaining driver to watch and is a lovely person too. Is willing to help other competitors out. He would be a good ambassador for the Gumball 3000. Good luck Ben

      Ben Gott is a character that everybody cant help but love. His love and passion for mechanics and rallying makes grease and engine compartments actually seem exciting. He is the man for the job. And if you’ve ever been driven around by him in his Cobra you’ll understand that. Ben Gott – he’s your man!
