We heard about Gumball 3000 giving a lucky person the chance to take part in the 2010 Rally. We then found out that BETSAFE was sponsoring this event and asked fans to film themselves explaining why they should be chosen. Our film maker, Paulski, jumped to the challenge. He put a video quickly together wanting to post it as soon as possible on the BETSAFE website. Soon afterwards, he told several close friends about it and his vote count rose slowly by surely. He then knew it was time to call upon his automotive community. This is when the video became viral on forums. Friends would see it and tell others about it. The word spread fast in this city of Montreal and Paulski’s position on the leaderboard climbed up quickly. One thing led to another and before you knew it, the video was in first position.
Thanks to our friends at VDream, they helped us gain a tremendous amount of votes. For that I thank them greatly for their support.
The key to success is networking. Knowing the right people can get you far. For a simple contest such as this one, we can go to far lengths to achieve something that we have been dreaming for a very long time. Thinking that we would never be able to take part in the Gumball 3000 until we were in our late 40′s or 50′s, we actually have an opportunity NOW!
