 :luvya: Very eager for the next group of racers we will get to see! We haven't seen an enthusiastic 50+ racer on the show since Rob & Kelley, I believe, (Dave doesn't count. :res: ) so perhaps an older team will be part of the cast this time.

I wonder if there will be dating teams.....

I thought someone said (or quoted) "we welcome more blind date teams". I might be wrong... But if I remember, when did that get the okay?
I thought that when we fought, I was to blame
Now I know you play a different game
I've seen you dance with danger; still wanting more

Phil hasn't been on twitter today so could the race be starting in a few days...
Maybe tomorrow?

I'm thinking we'll see a Scandinavian first leg, then Eastern Europe (Poland? Would love a visit to Bulgaria though), then if TPTB deem it safe a Middle East leg (Bahrain?) though probably not likely as they visited Abu Dhabi not long ago. Overdue for an India / bangladesh / Sri Lanka (probably a reroute from a potential Nepal leg), and something in Oceania hopefully!

Just speculation based on where we haven't been lately.

Speculation route:
1. It's been a while for South America countries to host first leg since TAR 23, so I think we'll see South America country on a first leg. I think Brazil will be perfect. We haven't had a combo United States -> Brazil since TAR 13. Another South America country that can be visited is Argentina or Uruguay. Will they make a come back to Iguaçu Falls?

2. I think we're not lucky enough to see Africa again for third consecutive time, but if they want to surprise us and decide to visit Africa, I think they will visit South Africa since the last time it is visited is TAR 7, which is already a millennium ago. But, after all, I speculate that Africa will be skipped this time.

3. Europe, well, I wish they will skip Europe this time, but I don't think that's possible. I agree that it has been four seasons since we visit Scandinavia, so they will come back here again maybe? Sweden has become their regular destination? I think they will highly go to Russia because we have pattern to visit Russia at least for every four seasons.

4. Asia. India or Indonesia; it's either both of them or only one of them, since those countries have been regularly visited, and we haven't seen them for a while. There's no way they will skip them. I have no idea about the other Asian countries.

5. Oceania. The last time we have a leg in Oceania is TAR 22, so they may come back. Maybe using an unused leg in Australia from TAR24?

Team
1. A parent/child team. I speculate a father/daughter or mother/son. We haven't had a decent father/daughter since Gallory or mother/son since Margie & Luke, so they will cast at least one of the combos?

2. An older couple. It's been missing since Bill & Cathi.

Eh, I'm not sure about Russia in the immediate future. They've been on shaky terms with the US recently so that country may be on the TAR blacklist for now.

I'm sorry but Seychelles is in Africa and they had just visited Phillipines in 25 so there's no way they're gonna visit it this season.

I also think that they won't visit Southeast Asia for a while since Thailand was just visited. I think for Asia they'll pick either China or India again (or surprisingly first visit to Maldives?  :hoot: )

Yes to Maldives!  :conf: Maybe they could visit the Central Asian countries too!
Maybe the absence of signs is a sign.

- For Asia, I think Mongolia and South Korea would be nice choice. (Overdue since 10 and 17) And both countries can be access easily from China (Which I think might be visit this season). India/Sri Lanka + Maldives combo would be nice to see too. If they decide to visit South East Asia too, one leg in Burma or Laos would make sense as new country too. Or Brunei instead of repetitive Indonesia.

- Africa, likely to get skipped.

- South America, Chile and Peru is out. I think Brazil/Ecuador (Galapagos)/Bolivia/Uruguay would be cool since all of them were overdue. I think we might get 2-4 SA legs start this season though.

- Oceania, they NEED to visit other countries than NZ and Australia! I think we might get 1-2 legs, Fiji or Papau New Guinea would be nice choice.

- Europe, we got overload Europe for past couple seasons (Esp. 23-24-25) I think just 2-3 legs in Europe, 1 Scandinavian and 1-2 in Central Europe would be nice. Finland is SO overdue!

- North America, I'd like to see Trinidad-Tobago/Costa Rica/Bahamas as leg 1 or 11. But since they just do Virgin Island in 25, I think they might save it for other season.

- North America, I'd like to see Trinidad-Tobago/Costa Rica/Bahamas as leg 1 or 11. But since they just do Virgin Island in 25, I think they might save it for other season.

I assume there would have a Midwest start in Chicago as it hasn't visited for a long time since season 6, with the LA (area) start already done many times. There could be an Easterly route (a la TAR12/14/16/17/20/23/25).

I think it would have a Central America visit for leg 1 and hasn't been for so long since TAR19. Costa Rica would be the first country to visit and its long overdue on its approximate location between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Guatemala would get a chance for its first visit and has long awaited to be overdue.

For Leg 2, the teams would travel to Europe across the Atlantic in Ireland and its also long overdue. The race has never visited the capital Dublin, with the Western part was last visited in TAR12. Beside with Ireland, the other one-time visited European countries going to visit are Finland (never have had a full leg before), Czech Republic, Belgium, Hungary and Greece. The new countries that have a chance for a first time visit: Bulgaria, Latvia, Serbia, Slovakia and Slovenia.

As for Africa, it would skip the mainland but will have a chance to visit Cape Verde, a tropical island country which is similar to other island countries like Seychelles, Bora Bora and St. Thomas.

For Asia, South Korea would be a good choice for the penultimate leg as its overdue as well. Seoul would going to have a full leg like it did in international Races.

I have a feeling the start is at Los Angeles again. It is predictable after all.

For Leg 1, I'm gonna guess on China. It has been visited in TAR24, but they might start here first. My guess goes to China or a surprising continent. ;)

Leg 2? Predictably speaking, they might continue to another part of China.

For Leg 3, my guess goes to some part of Asia, maybe one leg only.

As for Leg 4, perhaps a 2-leg visit to Australia or New Zealand.

Leg 6, maybe a visit to India? India has not been visited since TAR20. (Am I right? ??? ) Then, maybe they'll extend another leg in India.

At this point, maybe they'll start with Europe for Leg 8. They'll probably move on to another country for Leg 9, then to another country for Leg 10.

By Leg 11, maybe, just maybe, they'll go down to Africa and have a penultimate there. An African penultimate has never happened, but predicting when it will happen is gonna be pretty hard.

Afterwards, maybe they'll have the final leg in... the city near Niagara Falls? I don't know, just thinking. ???

I also have a gut feeling that a switchback will come at least once this season. ??? If I got something correct from my route, I'd guess on Australia, China, or India.

I guess the race start at LA again. Otherwise we would have LA finish which is too soon to featured after TAR25 just having a LA finish.

Is a return to Hong Kong wishful thinking? There definitely are more stuff they can do here and the HK legs they’ve had so far in TAR2, 11 & 17 are so good (but umm this is prolly my biased opinion  :lol: ).

There hasn’t been a HK visit in 9 seasons and I am speculating that there will be a China visit in TAR27 as they seem to be doing it every 3 seasons now. They seem to distinguish HK from China (e.g. TAR10 Beijing vs TAR11 HK, TAR16 Shanghai vs TAR17 HK), so more likely than not if no HK this season but have China, then very likely HK in TAR28.

BUT with China developing and modernizing and becoming more like HK, very possible they’ll not make that distinction anymore.

I can foresee them having a HK leg and then going to somewhere in Guangdong though, like Shenzhen. So whether or not they distinguish HK from China, they can still do this route. I’d definitely like to see teams visit HK as the first leg city  :hearts:
