Ok say that all the team speak English for the 1st idea, would that make it better or maybe race 1 is a regular race and race 2 an all star race.
addie:
No, lol. It's pretty bad and would cost tons of money.

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.

What???!!!!!
First, your statement sounds exactly like Jaime saying that China sucks just because of the language barrier. And is also childish; specially when there's a lot of ways to learn languages (ask Cindy and Ernie next time they chat with us about they're preparation for TAR19) to solve this fact. I'm a native spanish speaker, but I also learned English in my school years - and French, but the basics of it -; so if aussies don't learn to speak Spahish as we do with the English during elementary and high school, it's not our problem, it's yours.
Second, for the rest of your reasoning, totally agree with you.

Hmmm... I like the routing, but it's more like a revision of season 10.
One thing I would change for TAR routing is the Chile & Argentina pairing. I just don't like it whenever they travel to Chile, the route just has to go to Argentina. :groan:

About themed races, I have to say that this reminds me a lot to Pekin Express. They have made some routes like the Dragon Route, something in South America, Africa Routes, there are enty of them. I just find them quite straightforward and with few transportation choices (if we thi pplaces are close to each other, is it feasible to take flights between them??)
