The Gumball 3000 rally kicks off this Sunday and our intrepid reporter Rickie is going all the way Asia and back.

Rickie, producer James and our mate from MTV Pakistan Wiqar have got a pimped up supercharged Range Rover (thanks to Saxtons 4x4) to race in. It's also got a PS3 in the back (thanks to EA Games) so they won't get bored.

Well be following the teams progress back in Blighty as they visit Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Istanbul, Athens, Berlin and the rest of Europe! Rickie told us what hes looking forward to:

Im excited about the long hours driving to parties, he said. It will be cool to meet Xzibit, Jay Kay (from Jamiriquai) and play pranks on Danny Dyer.

Itll be great to visit Athens too and were having a black tie dinner with the President of Albania. But of course Ill miss Shantha!

Follow the teams progress from now till the finishing line right here.
