So effectively what you're trying to tell me (and please correct me if I'm wrong!!) but if they have a team with some form of disability or handicap that may impair them along the race... That they're either going to be IN the Final 3 or NOT in the Final 3!? :O

Exactly. So far we only have 3 disability or handicap teams that managed to make into the F3, and apparently all of them are finished in third place.

Let's just say that no disabled team has finished in the top 2 in the final leg.

 :cmas10 Not sure how you want to classify Amy (TAR 26)- she stated that after finishing the race, she went for a MRI and was told she had 2 stress fractures! She stated she was in severe pain the entire race.

Not sure if we are counting international versions but one of the winners of TARAsia 2 was hearing impaired.

For simplicity's sake, the "If a disabled team makes the F3, they finish in 3rd" rule only applies to the American version.

This is like the third time someone in this thread is asking for you guys to stop talking about TAR26 spoilers.

Please Stop

There have been no spoilers given out ever since RaceUntilWeDie commented on it. (Or at least I think so)

Unless if you count what wishicouldrun said, but I think that's just a typo, since the Amy that's being referred to there is probably Amy from TAR25.

Idk if you would count it as a 'disability' but Nat Strand of Nat & Kat in S17 had Type 1 Diabetes and they went on to win the race.

Sorry for any confusion- I do not know the names of TAR26 racers. I was referring to Amy from TAR 25- thanks TARloveit!

All 3 all-female winning teams had one non-Caucasian in it, and 2 of the teams are multi-racial!

Josh and Brent are the only winners to have never placed in the top 2 prior to the final leg. In fact, they did not even finish in the top 3 until Leg 10.  :ascared

Not sure if this is correct, but:

TAR26 is the ONLY season ever to not have a F/F team (including the international versions)

Wow, NELs used to be so late into the race back then!
You are the last team to arrive.
This is a Philmination leg, so I'm sorry to tell you that you have been Philiminated from the race.

for the case of season 9 if leg 3 were counted separately, first NELs would occour in leg 3 and 3 later NELs occur in leg 8;10;12
Trivia for all seasons have NEL/TBC with 9 teams reamaining (9;17;18;22) no M/F teams ever win!

Whenever there is a race held in Oman (TAR 9, TAR 17, TARA 3), the first team to checked in this leg will be the first to worst team in the next leg. (Fran & Barry, Chad & Stephanie, Ida & Tania) The last team to be departed in next leg end up winning the race. (BJ & Tyler, Nat & Kat, Vince & Sam)
