Mr. Sang Tran (Vietnamese-Canadian) and Mr. Tri Nguyen (Vietnamese-American) are the only two Vietnamese participants in the Gumball 3000 journey.

Mr. Cooper stated: "Among the 500 participants, many are experiencing Vietnam for the first time. We hope to create memorable experiences and spread positivity despite the short duration."

Each of the 100 supercars corresponds to a team of 2-3 drivers. Teams have engaged in fundraising for the Gumball 3000 Fund, which supports youth activities globally, including in Vietnam. The team raising the most funds will start the journey first from Ho Chi Minh City.

At the press conference, Mr. Cooper expressed sympathy for the Vietnamese affected by recent natural disasters, leading to a scaled-back event without the music festival portion.

The Gumball 3000 founder has also launched a fundraising campaign to support recovery efforts from storm number 3. Donations, including $10,000 from Mr. Sang Tran and Mr. Tri Nguyen, will be presented at the 25th-anniversary ceremony at the Thong Nhat Hall - Independence Palace.
