TAR12 timeline speculation

You're right. I forgot about that. I did that spreadsheet back in October.
Here it is with TBC folded in. It does not change the conclusion for me.
Osaka in the Finale! :mas25

Okay one more question--why would they have 23 hours in Osaka for tasks now? Or could Taipei just be a 24-36 hour Pitstop--do flights still work?
But hey--sounds like somebody better start beating Boingo's drum!! :cmaslol :cmaslol

CHATEAU, you know that I have a lot of respect for your thoughts on timelines. However, there are several points to keep in mind with respect to whether Osaka precedes Taipei(my thesis) or vice-versa(yours):
1. I believe that the schedule in Girdwood for July 29 was so tight that World Race Productions could not afford to jeopardize that with a late same-day arrival of the F3 teams from Taiwan. I have scheduled that on July 28 as a result, one day before you have.
2. Although there was backtracking from Vilnius to Croatia and lesser backtracking is about to happen from Dubrovnik to Florence and some more possibly to the European hub city (probably FRA, CDG, or AMS, all west of Florence) for the flight to India, I cannot subscribe to your theory that World Race Productions will allow a Taipei to Osaka to Taipei routing. This makes no sense, so they won't do it.
3. With the current timing of arrival in India on July 23(after TBC I expect in Florence), 2 days probable to do whatever in India, one half day to get to Osaka, one day for Osaka, hours to get to Taipei, and at a minimum hours needed(due to TBC) in Taipei, add that all up and you get July 27. We need an extra 24 hour pit stop in Osaka or multiple hours of operation delays in Taipei adding up to one day. That would take it to the afternoon of July 28 for the departure of the China Airlines flight 11 to Anchorage.
Chateau d If:
Backtracking!
I'll show you backtracking:

I can't help it that Taiwan is southwest of Japan. But WRP can help it to not retrace the Osaka to Taipei airspace.
