North America (east coast start) --> Europe --> Africa --> South America --> Oceania and/or Asia --> North America (west coast/central finish).

Although that would raise the ire of many TARfans (they didn't circumnavigate the world!), I really like that route. It also centers the world on the Americas.
Unfortunately, TAR also has a pattern that South America, since costs are cheaper there, must be visited first in any season.

Yeah, its not probable, but would be cool to see.
Caelestor:
Some more patterns!
Start line/First country:
NYC/Zambia (S. Africa does not count)
LV/Brazil
Miami/Mexico
LA/Italy
LA/Uruguay
Chicago/Iceland
LA/Peru
FE doesn't count
Denver/Brazil
Seattle/China
Miami/Ecuador
All starting lines are now in LA :cmas15
Ireland
Brazil
Switzerland
Japan
Chile
So, only TAR 1 began in Africa. TARs 4,6,12,14 started in Europe, while TAR 10/15 started in Asia. The rest had their first destination in SA, with the exception of TAR 3 in NA.
Finish line locations:
NYC
SF
Seattle
Phoenix
Dallas
Chicago
Miami
once again 8 doesn't count
Denver
NYC
SF (here's where it gets interesting)
Alaska
Portland
Hawaii
Las Vegas
So, we may be possibly due for a final city not in the continental US. Saipan's a pretty nice place: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saipan

I've never missed a season of TAR - it's my absolute fav.....I've lurked here for a few seasons. The finish line list is quite impressive! I guess I never paid that much attention before but I'm quite impressed that other than NYC and SF, they've chosen different cities for each season! Simple things intrigue me I suppose.

I have tried to understand how so many people can post about absolutely nothing. After reading the post here, I have very little information about TAR 16. I guess this is good entertainment for some, but is there ever any reliable information on how the race is progressing? My guess is that the race is over by now, and we still don't have any concrete information other than the fact that Jeff & Jordan were in the race.

The reason you probably haven't found any real information in this thread is its the "Speculation" thread. There are other threads that are based on destinations and confirmed sightings/tweets that should have more real information.

WOW....i think they've gotten tons of information so far.....first, the pics of the teams at LAX...info on their legs in S.America, an elimination photo, pics of Phil in Penang, racers in Singapore, and a pic with two teams at sequester. I think it's awesome how all of this works. It's absolutely amazing how diligently everyone here works to gain information from around the world....the world sure seems a little smaller after following these guys here in this forum.
