Hayden Christensen and Mario Andretti join the Bullrun 2006

The Hollywood film-actor Hayden Christensen and the racing-driver Mario Andretti confirmed their participation.

Hayden Christensen (yep, the guy from Star Wars) is joining the Bullrun 2006. Christensen already did the Bullrun in 2005 with a Lamborghini Murcielago. Highlight last year, was a race between him and Basketball-player Dennis Rodmann on the Bonneville Salt Flats: Christensen lost. “You have much to learn, young Padawan driver!,� Alex Roy (famous Bullrun and Gumball veteran) told him. “Back to Playstation for you!�

Spin-out between Christensen and Rodman:

Mario Andretti (Formula 1 world champion 1978) will split his driving duties between two vehicles: a Panoz GTLM-R sporting over 400hp and a 420hp V8 2007 Audi RS4. On the first day of the event, Andretti will provide “hot laps� at a race track.

The Bullrun route is a carefully guarded secret…even participants don’t know where they’re going at the start of each day.

This year’s event will start at a secret location in Manhattan on Saturday, July 22, 2006, and run to an undisclosed location in the Los Angeles area. The event spans 8 days and 7 nights. There is a party each night for the Rally’s prestigious participants.

The event is designed to attract the world’s greatest drivers and premium vehicles for what amounts to a week long party and cross country road trip.
