The Final

BBC One - Race Across the World, Series 4, The Final

The teams embark on the final leg of their Race Across the World from Jakarta to Lombok.

Twelve minutes is all that separates the first two teams as they embark on the final leg of their Race Across the World from Jakarta to Lombok.

After racing nearly 14,000 kilometres over seven weeks and through seven countries, it’s all come down to 12 minutes. That’s all that separates the first two teams as they embark on the final leg of their Race Across the World from Jakarta to Lombok, where a prize of £20,000 awaits the winning team. 

The four teams can only reach Lombok from the neighbouring island of Bali. To get there, they’ll need to navigate the length of Java, the most populous island in the world, before racing through Bali to cross into Lombok. Teams will need to make every decision count with ingenuity, speed and wit. With just 12 minutes separating the first two teams, rivalries reach an all-time high.
