WHY DID I LEAVE!? It's Time to RACE, FULL SEND on the Gumball 3000

How often do you get to race up a mountain road!? We're back on the ‪@Gumball3000‬ for some fun on a 'private race track', driving the Manhart GT2 RS up Jebel Jais in Ras Al Khaimah. With the road shut down for the Gumballers, you can get it's an opportunity to open it up!
I've been absent from the last couple of days of the rally to get my feet back up and running after the extraordinarily busy last month, but it's time to return with a bang for some epic days ahead! Today brings us out to Ras Al Khaimah and a road I am very familiar with, Jebel Jais. Meandering up the ragged mountainside to the palace at the top, on this particular run we have a long stretch closed exclusively for the Gumballers to put the pedal to the metal.
Having kicked off a few days prior in Dubai for the start of the 23rd Gumball 3000, we're driving as Team 150 in the Manhart TR900, a modified Porsche GT2 RS with over 900 horsepower, and perfectly set up to enjoy a run like this. Thankfully we escaped unscathed from the bad luck we had on the start day, so let's ensure we enjoy the rest to the fullest now that we're good to go. And when it comes to driving mountain passes, to be joined by a Bugatti Divo, plus ‪@DailyDrivenExotics‬ in their rental Huracan, and countless other supercars, it doesn't get better!
Thanks for watching, Tim

This Gumball content couldn’t be at a better time. It’s giving me something to look forward to while I go some really intense training for a new job. Perfect thing to watch to unwind on my brakes.

[@Shmee150]

Best of luck with the new job

[@BaxterretxaB]

@@Shmee150 Thanks, I’m rocking my gumball merch from last year while I study 🤘🏼

[@xMIKSTER989x]

Best of luck! Same here I just started my new job as a lien negotiator yesterday at one of the top personal injury law firms in los angeles and it’s nice to have some videos to come home and relax while watching after a stressful day

[@BaxterretxaB]

@@xMIKSTER989x heck yea man. I’m learning to fly a new jet for work. I’m waist deep in 700pg manuals that I have to learn 😂

[@willsoteros9923]

Really funny seeing FTX on all these cars.

[@JRock3091]

Tim points camera at a dust cloud, I immediately think oh that must be the DDE. And was pleasantly surprised to see a RR being hooned around.

[@iangrassby]

Damon had to show him how to donut properly lol

[@hollywoodcheremonkey]

From up top, Shmee calling the Ferrari exhaust screaming up the hill. Ultimate car spotter!

[@frankoekemoer4219]

The 2RS Manhart must be potentially the quickest car up the mountain if it were to be a timed event. Epic car.

[@maxtrenck8511]

A timed event with no goats!😂😂

[@murrayoosthuizen1312]

loving the daily content, the effort you put in for us is amazing 👏

Shmee150 Absolutely Incredible Video I'm so glad your First day back on Gumball Middle East was absolutely incredible and I'm so glad you guys blast racing through Jebel Jais and I think it's absolutey insane that Damon shredded the tires of that 1450HP TT Performante and I'm glad you guys made it to the Check point safely

[@dahlonegaprospector7012]

Epic driving Tim, it's not easy driving a GT2 not to mention the manhart version. It looks like savage road with great scenery

[@Ian_TyreMann]

You need to bring one of your shmeemobiles over to the Isle of Man for supercar week and have some fun on our derestricted mountain road! Bring the fleet and have some real fun!!!

[@Xrayxx23]

Safe travels! Enjoy your trip!!

[@frog382]

-There could be mountain goats crossing the road. *After the first corner: 🐐💨

[@FoursquareT]

I saw you can remove the FTX decals now.

[@bling1634]

So cool to see you back in the rally and seeing you rip up they hill side in the Porsche

I like how no one mentioned that the R35 alarm was going off out of nowhere xD

Shmee never disappoints with his uploads 🐐❤️🔥🔥🔥🤝

[@Shaquille796]

Seeing all of the FTX stickers is hilarious

[@Stallzyx]

yes, I have been thinking that since the start of the tour lol

[@HJW018]

You probably wont see them for long, they have been instructed that they can remove them from the cars. And many have.

[@TJ-qm7wu]

They should ALL remove them.

We love this! Can’t imagine when all new cars are electric from 2030 and on, we’ll probably get new shmee channel maybe Shmeelectric

[@frasertones8519]

Fascinating landscape but coming from British Columbia I think I would feel strange being 200km away from the closest tree.

The three track legends 765lt, GT 2 RS and AMG GT black series. So cool to see them together 🤤

For sure! What a run

[@yagibuman]

I have driven up that mountain a few times when I visited Ras Al Khaimah, it is indeed one of the best driving roads in the world but I prefer Jebel Hafeet in Abu Dhabi.

[@Carsinabit]

2:30. picked up the engine note of a Ferrari from that distance. Now, that's impressive!

It's what I do!!

[@mxymlnghnm5711]

Tim, i know you usually don’t take requests (since its also circumstancial where you are going next) but I would love to see a 288GTO featured on the channel again and for you to enjoy. It certainly belongs to my dream cars out there and I would also want to know if you could compare them to a 308/328 etc. from the more cheaper point of view if you have ever driven one and they do look quite similar. Loving the content for years now. You are my role model when it comes to dedication. Cheers! 🍻

[@Shmee150]

I haven't driven one for a long time, would love another go

[@dimsum7728]

No one pays the Gumball entry fee and then decides to “skip” a major leg of the rally in Oman because you’re feeling tired or overwhelmed by the amount of traveling, all the while making content while window shopping in showrooms, not like you were doing R&R. Makes no sense!! Why not just say that Manhart wouldn’t let you take the Porsche to Oman because of insurance and road conditions.

[@valeriofreitas3125]

Hmmm hadn't thought of that🤔🤔

[@MrB590]

Rude

[@MrB590]

He wanted to have a break while there, it's not a race.

[@howardmr90]

What was the red car that Tim didn’t recognize at first? Janerelli or something. But it’s the one with a front end like a Shelby Cobra and no top. Thanks for the help!

[@senshibat8920]

Somewhat reminiscent of the Bond Mountain chase road.

Tim, what phone mount do you use? I looked on the Shmee150 store and didn’t see it. It seems to stay in place no matter what. Love the videos!
