Here's an article about the teams from Norwegian TAR. I'm fairly certain it's the first time a team has been interviewed the day before the race.

http://www.vg.no/rampelys/artikkel.php?artid=10074922

It's too long to copy here. It dwells quite a bit on one of the F/F teams that happens to be Lesbians and discusses their hopes to have 6 children and a big home. Also about how the pressures of the race might affect their relationship. There's some information about all the teams and some different pictures from what we have.

One of the tweets I found had the racers at the Dubai Mall running past P. F. Chang's restaurant. I looked at a map of the mall and P. F. Chang's is on the Lower Ground floor. That floor has dozens of restaurants, Arabic clothing stores and numerous banks. I can't see anything they would be going to except that there appears to an elevator going to the 124th floor observation deck of the Burj Khalifa tower, the tallest building in the world. My speculation is that they are headed there. However, Dubai Mall is the largest mall in the world, so it's very possible they could be going somewhere else.

There is a snow areas inside the mall, isn't it?

I think so. TAR went to the ski slope several seasons back but I'm not sure if was there or if there is another mall in Dubai where it might be. They could be going there.

If they did go to Burj Khalifa, they might repelling down like Tom did in Ghost Protocol, or..just to get a clue...

That's not really uncommon here. We haven't had spoiler-problems like the US-channels  :lol:

I don't see that information from any of the sources I contacted, but it certainly seems likely to me.

Feel free to speculate. Your ideas are as good as mine.

So, they went 4 cities and countries so far for TARN Season 1, namely:

1. Dubai, UAE
2. Jaipur, India
3. Hanoi, Vietnam
4. Singapore

...and hopefully they'll go to my country, the Philippines after Singapore leg because IT'S MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES and the latest sequel of Jason Bourne series are now on shooting there.  :tup:

But it wouldn't suprise me. All the countries (bar Vietnam) have recently been visited by TAR.

yes, my prayer has been answered!  TAR Norway is now here in the Philippines for their race! :yess:

And for this reason, here's a nice pic for the remaining teams:


Since both TAR Norway and TAR Australia 2 will be feature to my country later this year, hopefully the 20th season of TAR should be feature as well before racing towards to Osaka, Japan and/or Hawaii, or else I'll cry. :'(

haven't heard any sightings yet..

But I spec either they:
a. Keep heading north-east to Japan, America, then home, or
b. Not circling the globe and heading back west via eastern europe..

We could be getting more sightings if we could watch more. Twitter, FB, media, blogs, photosites need to be checked ALL the time.

Plaidmoon has been doing one of the most amazingly valiant efforts I have ever seen, but we ALL need to be helping!!
