    According to two sources familiar with the cross-Europe road rally, the car that picked up Nick Morley and Matthew McConville after the deadly hit-and-run incident we've been reporting on today was allegedly described as a Gumball BMW with Russian plates. That means it's more than likely the #19 Russian BMW...anyone know who was piloting it? We've got a picture of the car below the jump taken from the start of the race. Still no word from the race organizers. – Ray Wert
