The Race Across The World series finally returns to TV screens. The show sees contestants racing to a finish line without modern technology and air travel.
They travel without any Internet connection or all the luxuries that come with being wealthy, like expensive smartphones. This way, they are forced to be on their own constantly.
The global pandemic prevented the show’s production as they went on a lengthy hiatus. The BBC has confirmed a new eight-part series will be coming to television and their streaming service. The show’s release date is to be confirmed at a later time, though.
A teaser for the third installment of the Bafta-winning series is the most extreme to date. Five pairs of intrepid travelers will race across an entire continent. Ocean to ocean.
Starting in Vancouver, Canadian teams will move east over 16,000 kilometers to reach the finish line in St. John’s.
“Without using any of the trappings of modern-day life, the teams must navigate through some of the most remote parts of the usa looking at great scenery and touching the ground where very few people go.
“Takes place against the stunning backdrop of Canada but with no mobile phone, internet access, or credit cards to assist them.
The competing travelers will discover that to reach the finish line quickest and win the £20 000 cash prize, they need to rely on the kindness of strangers and use every ounce of their travel skills and ingenuity.”
