The new Race Across the World contestants are spotted wading through thick snow in a preview of the upcoming series.
The beloved BBC programme – which features teams racing across vast distances on limited budgets, without phones and banned from air travel – is back for a sixth series, with the broadcaster releasing a short glimpse of what lies ahead in a teaser trailer, reports Wales Online.
Whilst the departure location remains under wraps, this time the participants will be challenged with journeying from Europe “to the uncharted edges of Mongolia”. Footage in the trailer reveals the racers on horseback, in cities, leaping from boats and attempting to hitch lifts.
“The further they go, the closer they’ll get,” appears on screen, whilst one of this year’s participants is heard declaring: “This race, it’s a lifetime of exploring in such a short amount of time. It’s going to open up a lot of doors not many people have the privilege to unlock.”
Another contestant is then heard declaring: “This is an adventure.”
The BBC revealed: “In this vast east-to-west journey, five pairs race from the familiarities of Europe all the way to the uncharted edges of Mongolia in Race Across the World series six.
“These teams must forge their own path… But on this journey of extremes, who will finish first? No flights. No phones. No safety net… Let the race begin!”
Fans have declared they “can’t wait” after sampling the series, with one sharing on Instagram: “So excited for this.”
“OMG…. Can’t wait for this one!!!” exclaimed one eager viewer, whilst another fan declared: “My favourite programme.”
“Yippee!” cheered another viewer, with someone else enthusing: “Yesssssss!! Cannot wait – best programme!!”
Last year’s edition of Race Across the World saw the teams embark from The Great Wall of China, journeying across China, Nepal and India to their final destination of Kanniyakumari, the southernmost point of India.
The £20,000 prize was clinched by mother and son team Caroline and Tom, who were the first duo to reach the final checkpoint.
