Haha I recognize the hot blonde chick from the real housewives of orange county. She's the gold digging one who was "dating" the rich dying dude.

Woot woot @ Bahraini license plate on the EVO. (lived there for 7 years)

Btw, is the entry fee supposed to be $5k, not $50k? That would explain the every day cars in the pics.

^ it was in the 40k range almost 50 i don't remember the exact number. in the past entry fee has been as high as 120k. you have to remember it is a tax right off due to being a charity event.

it is probably true that some teams paid less in order to fill the grid

the "every day" cars that you see are most likely company sponsored cars.

the hurtz rental car on the other hand the driver of it had massive problems with his car and rented it last minute took it to a shop and had it tuned and the limiter removed so he would have something to drive in the rally. according to some of the other guys in the rally. same with the white c6 corvette he wrecked his zr1 a few days before hand and rented that car just to drive in the rally.

if you just want to see a bugatti go to cars and coffee there is often a guy out there with one, it's easier and you'll be able to be up close and personal with the car
