  • The true winners of TAR26. Horribly robbed :(
Canada would make for an interesting penultimate leg, I think they could pull that off well enough.

And then they could drive themselves to the US! :lol:

Would suit with F4 KOR though! (If they wanna continue with Final 4 for future season)

But I'm not seeing it since cost for 1 leg in Canada is probably equal to 2 legs in Asia or South Africa.  :funny:

Hola. Welcome to the big RFF family.  :waves: :hello2: :bigwelcome :wel2

Your route was pretty good. So good job for your wishes.

But first, Russia can't do it in future time because of multiple issue. Second, there is too much Africa leg, split it out with some Eastern Europe leg (Any countries besides Russia, Ukraine and Belarus), South Korea leg, Taiwan leg or Oceania leg. :lol:

1) A long overdue South Korea and Taiwan visit. China and Japan leg in last couple seasons was overused and kinda meh IMO.

2) India or Maldives visit. I kinda wish a Nepal visit but it was not happen anymore given the harsh situation of Nepal.

3) Oceania visit since TAR22. Please be the canceled Melbourne leg for Australia. Plus a snowy winter leg in South Island of NZ if the budget able to cover more Oceania leg.

4) Africa - I didn't expect any new countries there and South Africa revisit. I doubt they visit Africa next season since we have a bunch of Africa leg in 25/26. If they want to visit Africa in TAR27, I would prefer them to revisit Ethiopia and Madagascar.

5) Europe - Luxembourg, Latvia, Andorra, Slovakia, Bulgaria and a couple of Yugoslavian countries is a good choice for new countries. Plus a revisit of underused countries leg (Czech Republic, Finland, Greece, Hungary, etc...), and a BIG NO to the overused Amsterdam/France/Germany/Switzerland/Austria/UK leg as well.


6) South America - I think a South America metropolitan leg of Sao Paulo, Brazil and a Amazon jungle leg of Manaus, Brazil is great and distinguish with the TAR26 Peru legs.

7) Central America/Caribbean - IDK. A revisit of Puerto Rico and Jamaica was sound good. Plus a couple new Caribbean countries leg did fine for next season as well.

^great route; but the Jacksonville area isn't that great and TAR shouldn't visit here unless it's to get to St. Augustine.

There is tension with Ukraine :(

So Russia is really out of the paper?  :( :(

That's shame. I still wish my dream route Murmansk, Russia -> Tromso, Norway happened.  :'(

I think cities not on/near the Russia-Ukraine border would be safe.

Thank you.  :kuss:  I guess Orlando was much better for a final leg, Jacksonville was kind of like a random place.


Either way, this route need to be used with the bunch of great TAR teams. Please have MORE female/friends/family teams with maximum of 2 dating couples and NO blind dating teams.

Speaking for myself if I were racing with my life partner I'd be pissed if I had to race in Russia.

Also a race with five legs in Africa is giving me LIFE though I feel like even with the geographic diversity you have you could have a leg in Tunisia (or you could switch out the UAE for another leg in Tunisia also) since it's off the travel warning list.

I challenge someone to come up with an interesting race route that has no Europe. Remember when seasons used to do that? (Season 2 for example)

I agree with naejae91. We had a Caribbean visit recently in season 25. I guess will have a Central America start with Costa Rica going to revisit and is long overdue. No Panama for the third time.

We will get Ireland leg, particularly Dublin, the capital city was never visited. Belgium will have a chance to get revisited since TAR19.

Just saying...threads are where they are for reasons.

You are in the discussion thread. That is SPOILER FREE so no TAR 26 spoilers or TAR 27 spoilers.

WISHLISTS have a thread.

So be careful, okay?

TAR1, TAR17, and TAR25 are the only seasons in which the teams travel to a different continent from the first leg to the second leg.
There are zero visits to South America from Legs 5 to 9.
There are zero visits to Africa in any season's Leg 9 and 11.
There are zero visits to Australia and Oceania from Legs 5 to 7.
Not counting TAR8, Legs 3 to 10 have zero visits to North America.
Obviously, there was never a single visit to Antarctica.
There was never an African penultimate leg.
TAR1 was the only time there was an African first leg.

Let me try making a route that can change these facts. :lol: It will look very unrealistic though.

Leg 1: USA --> Cape Verde (11 teams)
Leg 2: Cape Verde --> Bahamas (10 teams)
Leg 3: Bahamas --> Guatemala (9 teams)
Leg 4: Guatemala (9 teams)
Leg 5: Guatemala --> Colombia (8 teams)
Leg 6: Colombia --> Kiribati (7 teams)
Leg 7: Kiribati --> Fiji (7 teams)
Leg 8: Fiji --> Antarctica (6 teams)
Leg 9: Antarctica (6 teams)
Leg 10: Antarctica --> Angola (5 teams)
Leg 11: Angola (4 teams)
Leg 12: Angola --> USA (Final 3 teams)

5 continents, 8 countries + Antarctica, no Europe and Asia.
I just wonder if that is diverse enough. ???
By the way, aside from USA, have any of these places been visited? ???
