Series 4: Episode 2
The race to Lombok is well underway and less than five hours separate the teams. Leaving Nara City, they must cross their first border into South Korea to reach the second checkpoint in the seaside town of Sokcho. It’s a leg of two halves, with the teams first having to navigate another stretch of budget-busting Japan to reach the ferry port and balance their speed and spending with the opportunity to earn. The second half will see the teams race the length of South Korea, famed for its kimchi, K-pop and taekwondo yet revealing a country that offers so much more.
