Back to basics
For the first time, the six drivers, together with their co-drivers, venture onto the track. There, their basic skills are put to the test, with shocking results. Smoking clutches, torn bumpers, cracked glass, and deep dents in the bodywork as well as in their egos. Yet, a tentative insight also emerges: for instance, road pirate Remy is startled by his own absurd driving behavior in a parking garage.

The emergency stop, the water tank and the Wheel of Fortune
The program features a brand-new challenge: The Wheel of Fortune. This seemingly simple course revolves entirely around one essential driving skill: perfect timing. However, that is precisely where things go wrong. The challenge not only leads to technical errors behind the wheel but also brings with it a significant dose of tension and drama. To everyone's surprise, a completely different side of Sarina suddenly reveals itself, revealing unexpected aggression. The question remains where this sudden outburst comes from and what it means for the remainder of the challenge.
