'head to Roma, turn at Florence...'
Loosing the clue was not the big time loss for TK & Rachel. They took so long because of the length of the drive: :groan:

Chateau,
My Goth, that route TK & Rachel took is like driving to Tampa from Miami, but driving down to Key West first, then back up again. That's such a circuitous route. It's no wonder JeNation got to the Detour so quickly.
Chateau d If:
tvdrew at TWoP has found the SNAV time table for the Split to Ancona ferry.
There is only one trip per day and it leaves at 5:00 pm, arrives at 9:30 pm. Consistent with what we saw. That's a big bad bunch. Nick and Don (and A&H) could have completed the Dubrovnik leg as late as 3:30 am on the 20th (8.5 hours after they did) and things would still be the same. :groan:

The Split to Ancona ferry on SNAV left Split at 1700, which gave the last two teams ample time to get there and have a leisurely lunch. That ferry arrived Ancona after a 4 hour 40 minute run at 2140. After getting cars and getting directions, it would probably be about 2230 before teams got on the road.

Hey, CHATEAU, forget TVDREW. Just read this thread!
The implications for the best road route from ANCONA to EMPOLI and how the best teams should have gotten there by 0200 are in the following post, page 17 of this thread(we are on page 18 right now).
Chateau d If:
Of course you said it. But you did not document it with a link. I still give Kudos to tvdrew for that.
Chateau d If:
And this

was the road that was closed until 6 am. So, when you say this
--- Quote ---A team that could figure out this route and do it according to the estimated time would have arrived by about 2am, which Nathan and Jennifer may have done.

you missed the route that Nate & Jenn used. :umn:
The key was in the episode when they spoke of the turnoff at Forli.
