The route they took is a nasty one. But the most stupid or probably uninformed were the Team 96 following them in the Ford GT. The M5 can cope with the harsh conditions of the path they took, but I doubt the GT will fare well. They could have gone the same route as the others as it is the one with the better roads. Instead they chose to take the route through Saranda (Albanian town bordering with Greece). From then on they should have gone towards Gjirokaster, and not follow the seaside route. The seaside route is one of the worst roads in Albania, and generally they're pretty bad. It takes a normal car around 6hrs with some stops to get from Saranda to Tirana through Gjirokastra. But if you take the seaside route the roads are very very narrow, I don't know what the guys in the GT were thinking, and they're simply nasty, and the trip to Tirana is around 7-8hrs.

The other teams (except team 96 then ofcourse) have to cross 2... I am only wondering in what condition the roads are where Team Polizei and Team Tag are driving now.
