The same person will also get to take home on-board video footage and photos so they can remember the experience forever.They’ll also get to take a tour around the BAC factory in Liverpool, which was co-founded by brothers Ian and Neill Briggs.\u00a0It’s from there that the company manufactures its bespoke supercars for exhilarating driving experiences.\u00a0The new 2016 version of the Mono that’s going to be part of the Gumball 3000 is an all-new four-cylinder 305bhp 2.5-litre Mountune engine. A lightweight but powerful engine, it charges from 0-60mph in 2.8 seconds – pure lightning. "},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Latest News","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Performance","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/\/performance\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"GUMBALL 3000 FEATURING BAC","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/performance\/gumball-3000-featuring-bac\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
