Race Across the World
Channel: BBC Earth (DStv 184)
TX Time: 19h00
Genre: Reality Competition, Adventure, Travel
If you were tasked to race across the world with limited cash and nothing in the way of modern technology, how do you think you'd fare?
This series will see five teams attempt just that.
Race Across The World takes you on the trip of a lifetime, following the contestants as they embark on an epic and adrenaline-fuelled adventure, travelling into the unknown without the trappings of modern life.
The five pairs set off on a race to Singapore without taking a single flight, leaving behind their smartphones, internet access and credit cards.
They are armed with only the cash equivalent of a one-way airfare to Singapore, the furthest destination by land and rail from the UK, to pay for the entire journey.
If they run out, they'll need to earn more.
In a competition that sees the teams travel through rather than fly over, their skill, ingenuity and determination will be tested to the extreme as they race through some of the world's most beautiful scenery, form bonds and friendships across cultural divides and rely on the kindness of strangers in order to stand the best chance of winning.
