	London's Transport Race - March 2023 - Expert

We turned the difficulty up to 100 for this special edition of London's Transport Race. Evolving our popular concept which sees teams head out across London to find six stations and a landmark, our second 'Expert Mode' Race took place on Saturday 25^th March 2023.

So, what makes the Race 'Expert'? Simple! Rather than teams choosing curated sets of stations as with our 'ordinary' Races, instead they're choosing all six of their stations, and landmark, entirely at random.

Teams[edit | edit source]

Five teams competed in the Race, all of whom were veterans of previous Transport Races. All teams finished the Race, however two teams received a Bonus Points penalty.

Team	Time	Points
Euphoria	05:47:14	146
South Coast Oysters	06:24:28	4102
Bonus Points 'R Us	07:15:39	20179
Down To The Wire	07:15:40	20180
That Kentish Race Guys	07:22:45	0*
Moquette Muppets	07:45:39	0*

Side Quests[edit | edit source]

Three Side Quests were available for teams to collect additional bonus points.

Rich Uncle's Tour of London Compulsory - double points for completion
Stations of the Month - Meridian Water and Upton Park - 100 points per station visited
The Zone One and Only - 100 points per visit
