Before the main event kicks off, five wildcard candidates will compete for a spot in the main race – one of the new features in season 3. To participate, they must first prove themselves in a separate challenge – a kind of mini-version of "The Race." The goal is to reach five landmarks across Germany as quickly as possible. Not just one person qualifies – the two best participants will jointly secure a ticket for "The Race" season 3 and compete as a wildcard team.
