2007 April 06, Jonny Vincent

Wild Jack Mobile Casino has jumped on board to sponsor the 2007 Candy Run, a European race which pits amateur sports car enthusiasts against each other in a quest to win almost $40,000 in prize money.

The Candy Run is open to anyone with a flash car and the $4000 entry fee. The race starts in London on July 21, after which contestants race their cars around Europe in a bid to win the prize money.

The 2007 Candy Run is expected to feature over 100 luxury sports car, including the world's fastest production road car, the Barabus TKR, which can reach speeds over 270mph. The Candy Runners are all racing against the clock to obtain the correct combination code that opens the safe containing the $40,000 jackpot in London on the final night of the race.

You don't actually have to enter with a luxury sports car - planes, powerboats, limo's and even a helicopter have entered this year's race – all competing for the grand prize. As the official sponsor, Wild Jack Mobile Casino will have their logo splashed across 15 supercars, including a TVR Tuscan, Ferrari Spyder, Porsche 911 and Lamborghini Murcielago.

The week-long race will take the entrants throughout Europe to five Gentlemen's Clubs and five naughty themed parties. During the parties, the Candy Runners will each receive a sealed envelope containing a combination code, one of which will open the safe back in London on the final night of the rally.

Nicc Lewis, UK Country Manager for Wild Jack Mobile Casino, said, "Being an exciting and fast paced brand we share many of the qualities shown in the Candy Run. We are very happy to be the official sponsors of this year's event. We can only dream of driving a Ferrari Spyder and competing in the event ourselves!"

"The Candy Run has already attracted over 100 supercar entrants, celebrity drivers and media coverage. We're delighted that Wild Jack Mobile Casino has also been attracted to the Candy Run. Along with our beautiful candy girls the branded cars give added eye candy to the race," added Jason Malloney, Candy Run.

The 2007 Candy Run event will be broadcast on Sky TV as a 6-part TV series later in the year.
