What is race across the world series 4?

Race Across the World Series 4 is a British reality television competition that follows five pairs of amateur travellers as they race across several countries without using air travel or modern technology like smartphones or credit cards. They are given a limited budget and must rely on their resourcefulness, map-reading skills, and interactions with locals to reach checkpoints and ultimately be the first to arrive at the final destination.

Here's a breakdown of key aspects:

• Concept: The core concept revolves around the challenge of traversing vast distances using only ground transportation and a tight budget. This tests participants' physical and mental endurance, teamwork, and adaptability. See more about this in Budgeting, Resourcefulness and Teamwork

• Format: Each team is given a starting budget and a map. They must navigate from checkpoint to checkpoint, completing tasks along the way. The first team to reach the final destination wins a cash prize.

• Challenges: Contestants face numerous challenges, including language barriers, cultural differences, unreliable transportation, and the constant pressure of managing their finances. Find out more about them in Cultural%20Differences and Language%20Barriers

• Transportation: Participants primarily rely on buses, trains, ferries, and occasionally hitchhiking. They are not allowed to fly or use pre-booked private transport.

• Technology Restrictions: Smartphones, GPS devices, and credit cards are prohibited, forcing contestants to rely on traditional methods of navigation and communication.

• Destination: The series 4 route started in Japan and finished in Lombok, Indonesia.
