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.

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.

The program is so demanding that Remy briefly imagines himself in the role of a professional race car driver, while Tom Coronel adopts the demeanor of a seasoned courier.
