Absolute Poker Takes The Wheel

Absolute Poker, the fourth largest Online Poker website, announced Jeff Natland will drive Absolute Poker's Ferrari F430 Spider as part of its sponsorship of the Gumball 3000 Rally 2006 which kicks off this weekend in London, England.

Absolute Poker is one of only ten overall sponsors of the event. The eighth annual Gumball 3000, the world's largest cult car rally, combines Phileas Fogg's quest to traverse the world in 80 days with a rock star style-tour - a 3000-mile adventure around the world, starting in London (April 30, 2006), making its way through Europe and Asia and finishing eight days later in Los Angeles (May 7, 2006). In addition, Absolute Poker will also be giving away chances to win a place at the Gumball 3000 wrap party at the Playboy Mansion.

"We're raring to hit the road in this amazing event," said Mike Edwards, Absolute Poker marketing manager. "What better combination is there than high-performance cars, a global adventure, rock stars, celebrities and of course our favorite - poker. Absolute Poker is participating in the Gumball 3000 race because we know our players are all adventurers at heart and they love living in the fast lane as much as we do."
