This year, kicking off from Mykonos for a 3000-mile road trip to Ibiza, the Gumball 3000 Rally will mix top celebrities, influencers and crazy supercars owners to enjoy together a full week of terrific experiences and challenges.
Started in 1999, the Gumball 3000 Rally is an annual luxury automotive road trip taking place every year and travelling a different 3000-mile route. Drive through capital cities in front of hundreds of thousands of fans and photographers as Gumball shuts down famous landmarks in each city where spectacular static car displays are hosted and documented by the world’s press.
All these Gumball 3000 ingredients are close to the spirit of Carrera: a perfect mix of daring attitude, fashion forward style and speed to bring a step ahead the brand’s #driveyourstory communication platform.
This year, the Carrera Driving Team will run the engine of a very special Alfa Romeo Supercar in Mykonos and reach Athens together with the other 120 participant cars, where the rally continues travelling across Tessaloniki, Porto Montenegro, Venice, Monaco, Barcelona and finally Ibiza.
Gumball 3000 Founder and CEO, Maximillion Cooper says of the partnership “I am absolutely delighted to be able to partner with Carrera on our 21st Birthday Rally. My first pair of special sunglasses was Carrera, and to have them be part of my vision is a dream come true. We fully embrace their ethos and excited to be part of their #driveyourstory campaign. The last two decades have provided countless stories and adventures for drivers and spectators alike and this year will be no different.”

Like a blended family, SILMO FAMILY accommodates various organisations with complementary concepts that provide a dynamic counterpoint to the SILMO PARIS annual international event, of which the power of attraction is already well-established.
The organisers therefore present the innovation of SILMO SHOWROOM, of which the first edition will be held in Lisbon, Portugal, on 30 June 2019.
This new event, to take place in a luxurious setting – the Sud Lisboa space –, is organised with the support of the ANO, the National opticians’ association of Portugal, and is limited to some fifty brands. It was conceived and developed as a day of networking dedicated to selected local purchasers.
SILMO ISTANBUL led the way in 2014, followed by SILMO SYDNEY in 2017 and SILMO BANGKOK in 2018. These are regional trade fairs in their own rights, organised by and with local professionals, which reflect the true Silmo philosophy and values and are well adapted to specific, perfectly defined markets with a high development potential. Other strategic destinations are in preparation.
And because the concept of community and a spirit of openness are an integral part of the Silmo DNA, Copenhagen Specs (in Copenhagen and Berlin) joined the SILMO FAMILY last February.
The objective for this organisation, founded and still managed by Morten Gammelmark, is to take advantage of the Silmo international network to develop and increase its visibility.
