The Race

The first episode of THE RACE begins in northern Africa. The participants are simultaneously abandoned in the narrow streets of Morocco and have to find their way out. Your goal is clear: Germany! But the participants have no idea what problems will await them during the journey. Who will be the first to reach Europe? THE RACE begins!

In the second episode of THE RACE, each participant tries to get a coveted ferry ticket in their own way. But the clock ticks tirelessly. The first groundbreaking decisions are made and while everyone is fighting for every single euro, the police suddenly become aware of one of the participants. Will all candidates make it to the ferry before sunset?

Once they have arrived in Europe, the participants face the next difficult obstacles in the third episode of THE RACE. Rain and storms make it difficult to contact locals and tourists. As darkness falls, the participants are faced with the crucial question: Where will they spend the first night?

In the fourth episode of THE RACE, the participants struggle with the aftermath of the night, because it couldn't have been more different. While the weather shows no mercy, the five try to get a little closer to Germany. The patience of the participants is put to the test. Only one person enjoys the sunny side of life.

The five candidates work meticulously on their plan to reach the next big city. But for that they need one thing: money. The differences between joy and sorrow couldn't be greater until one candidate pulls the ripcord and makes a momentous decision.

After night number two, the candidates start the day with new motivation. But as always, the weather makes life difficult for some candidates and drives them to the brink of despair. You still keep moving until a participant's emergency phone suddenly rings.

THE RACE season 2 begins! The five participants embark on an exciting journey in Paris that they never expected. The most important change: they don't know their destination. To find out where their journey will take them, the participants have to puzzle their way through the urban jungle of Paris. How will the participants fare and who will be the first to find out their destination?

Each of the contestants struggles with the puzzle in Paris to be the first to discover the destination for THE RACE season 2 and gain a valuable head start. They rattle off location after location, but one of the four riddles brings some of the contestants to the brink of despair. When the participants finally find out where the journey is taking them, they are left speechless.

The riddle has been solved and the destination of THE RACE season 2 has been set. 3,500km now separate the candidates from the coveted finish buzzer in Turkey. The first plans are being made, rides are being sought and meters are being measured. The plan is clear: get out of Paris as quickly as possible. But things don't go according to plan for everyone - and cause the first serious crisis before the first night.

The first night awaits the candidates. While most of them are already asleep, one contestant fights for a place to sleep until late into the night. Who will cover the most kilometers the next day? Who will have luck on their side? And what happens if the previous day's tactics suddenly no longer work?

While Lézan continues to look for a way to get out of Paris, the other candidates fight for every single kilometer that brings them closer to their goal. They even take detours to get there. Will this pay off in the end? The second night is also just around the corner and once again requires creativity from all the candidates to find a safe place to sleep.

Day three of THE RACE season 2 begins and proves to be a tough test of patience for some participants. While some cross more national borders, others struggle with the harsh reality: hours of rejections, skeptical looks and euphoria that quickly turns to bitterness. Who remains positive and waits for that one important trip?
