In my neighbourhood a (tuned) Corvette c5 stands. It is usually parked with the back of the car towards the house, but yesterday it was the other way around. On the back sits a big sticker saying: "Gumball 3000". Does anyone know whether this sticker is real or if you can buy them somewhere ? Did this car really participate ?

I got the same question too!! Close to me there lives a guy with a great car park: S8, Cayenne, 612 Scaglietti and a DB9.
And the last one, the DB9, has a "Gumball 3000" sticker just above both rear wheels. I still don't know why it is there and I don't hope he has it there for fun beacuse it looks real ugly...

or you can take an image of a sticker to any sign-makign company and they can replicate it in any size, full colour vinyl.
We made up a set of Monte Carlo ones for the MGB when following the Classic Monte. They were so good the car was waved into service areas and given police escorts in the busy towns

Despite all of the ways to get one, I don't think he would had stuck one on if he hadn't done it...
...and if he did, he is pretty stupid.

You're last comment is likely isn't it.
Look at all the ricers with their Greddy et al stickers. So soemone trying to 'act' the playboy is going to think Gumball is "cool"

Only 2 people in my neighborhood have them though they are actually competitors in many different state-to-state, checkpoint-to-checkpoint races.
The 1st neighbor has 3 Gumball 3000 stickers. One on the windsheild, and one below the left and right brake lights on his Porsche 996 Turbo S.
The 2nd neighbor is one who says has not done the Gumball itself for a year or so, but was at the Monaco GP (supercar one) last year.
He has 1 Gumball sticker (small) on his windsheild in the bottom driver's corner so it looks custom made or something.
The other sticker is a Monaco GP one which he made. It rests on the rear windshield at the top of his Ferrari 550 Maranello.
I haven't seen my 550 neighbor for some time now, nor the car, but my 1st neighbor has apparently been working on his son's Cuda.
