Day 2 - We Raced To Circumnavigate The Globe In 100 Hours

Great game and video! This second episode was even more entertaining!!

I really think the game (season 2 please!) would benefit from some route randomness such that pre-planning a route is made impossible or very difficult. For example when the game actually starts, each team gets one or two cities (with +- equally strong connections/average prices) that must be transited through along the way. Eg. Cologne, Germany and Split, Croatia.

This could be extended to an Asian city, only discovered by the teams upon reaching Europe, that they must go through.

Penalties for failing a challenge could also include another mandatory stop.
Rewards for very difficult challenges (maybe location dependent - eg Pastry Mile in Baku in 12 minutes) could be giving your opposing team another mandatory stop eastwards from where they are (you could have envelopes with longitude ranges/timezones containing a mixed variety of cities). 

Or forcing them to miss their next booked flight/take their next flight in business class. This also gives the teams more interaction against each other and more strategic decisions - do you waste time flying to Baku because you’ll be able to screw your rival over?

The teams having some idea of where the others are (perhaps by communicating a longitude range/timezone with a 4 hour lag) would also give the trailing team motivation to take risks to slow the leading team down.
Etc etc.

Hope to see more of these games! Well done.
