Thanks, I've been a 16 yr. TAR viewer (started watching and fan since s5) and I'm happy to join in on this forum. :)

Come on..instead of keep reusing the same recently visited countries they should make a route of countries they haven't used in ages! At least that would've take a bit of the disappointment of not having at least one new country. Give Kenya, Finland, Ukraine, Ecuador, Jamaica, Canada, Hungary, and a bunch of other barely-visited countries a chance.
Yes, i know China and India have a lot to offer, but seriously they need a rest. They're beautiful countries on their own but there is a lot other cultures too see. I'm enjoying the season so far, but they could have change China for the Philippines and Bangladesh for Sri Lanka.
Turkey and Spain, and to a extent France are the only countries that kinda save the route.
So if they repeat the no-new country route i hope they create and interesting route.

I had an 2 ideas.
My first one is just evil. 2 races will begin and run at the same time as each other. None of the teams will know that there is another race being run. When each race has 4-6 teams left (both races need to have the same amount) the 2 race will merge and reset and the race will continue as normal. The twist would work espicaly well in special all star season with the 1st race being a TARUS all stars while the seacond race will be a International all stars season.
The 1st race will be hosted by Phil and 2nd race being hosted by either Alian Wu (who is the second most experenced TAR host with 7 seasons hosted; 4 TARA, 3 TARCR) or Grant Bowler(a fellow New Zealander of Phil and host of TARAU). When the two races merge Phil will continue to host solo or co-host with the second host.
Another twist (which isn't evil)is races that could be based on historical events or people in history.
Example: A silk road (which at some records say travels from Rome, Italy to Japan) based race will go from Italy thought Greace,Turkey,Egypt and the Middle East. Then onwards to India and China to Japan.
Air:
The first idea is, frankly, horrible. The people from the US don't care at all for the Intl-TAR versions and I highly doubt people from Australia would care much about TARCR, TARA, TARP, TARI, TARV, TARU, TARN, TARLA or TARF and ditto from other places hosting TAR versions. And also, supposedly a team from TARLA is a Lumelia and extremely popular, however they only speak Spanish. When they get casted for this AS, the language barrier will stop them interacting with other teams and also with the non-Spanish viewers. This will be extremely annoying for the viewers that don't speak Spanish because I'm pretty sure that they don't really want to watch some Spanish speaking people surrounded by English speaking people especially like somewhere in Australia where practically nobody speaks Spanish.
The second idea is much better and I like the idea of themed races. The only problem is: how to incorporate the US into this. It's pretty pointless for a TAR to not start in its home country/region. And also countries along themed races are generally very similar (the reason why TAR doesn't spend too much time in each region) ie Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, both along the Silk Road.
