Madsen rejoined the rally in the US, below is the BBC news report of what happened to him in Belgium

Film star Michael Madsen has left the European leg of the Gumball 3000 Rally after police stopped his driver for speeding, event organisers said.

A Gumball spokeswoman said the Reservoir Dogs star had decided to head back to the US to rejoin the rally when it arrives there later this week.

Madsen, who had been travelling through Belgium in an Aston Martin, was one of several celebrities taking part.

The Wire's Idris Elba and US singer Eve were among the other drivers.
