From Wikipedia:

The 2008 10th Anniversary Gumball 3000 Rally will take place in August. Cars with neutralized carbon emissions are preferred and proof will be required. The entry fee is £60,000 ($120,000US). The start line will be San Francisco, proceed through checkpoints in San Diego, Las Vegas, flight to Nanjing (Drivers stopping over in Pyongyang), Shanghai, and finally finishing in Beijing during the 2008 Olympic Games.

From Gumball3000.com:

80's superstar and king of the internet David Hasselhoff has confirmed that he will be taking part in the 10th year Gumball 3000 anniversary. He has also decided to bring along his old friend KITT, the original car from the classic television series, Knight Rider. That's right! The Hoff will be giving his old motor a varnish and taking it back to the road. However, he will not be on the pursuit of crime this time around, he will be kick starting an adventure full of grease, guts and glamour.

This annual event was featured on an episode of MTV's Jackass back in the day. It's a lot like the Cannonball movies, if you're old enough to remember those.

Other celebs rumored to be confirmed for this year's race are: Alfonso Ribeiro (The Fresh Prince of Bel Air), Tyson Beckford (actor and model), Joel McHale (The Soup), Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy), Jermaine Dupree (rapper/music producer), Chris Pontius (MTV's Jackass), Bam Margera (Viva La Bam), and John Mayer, (singer/songwriter), just to name a few.

Hopefully, things will go better for David and Kitt than what happened in the first installment of Robot Chicken. XD
