I need to go back to all the original posts and take another look at Germany though... or maybe WODEN can help us out here??

I don't have anything new to add, but I do think it's possible to have Paraguay and Germany. My theory (which is spec) is that the Argentina production staff could very well have been on the way to Germany (per the Argentine article) while the teams went on to Paraguay, where a different production staff was waiting. We know that staffs rotate throughout the season, so... :duno:
If I were making a guess, I like the Paraguay story. But five SA legs, wow.

But what about the Hoopties? :duno: That means the racers went in-country.

I just get a headache trying to decypher these events from the megar clues. I try to incorporate Neobie's ideas of trying to get Phil ahead to do his standups, the periodical long pit stops to give racers, crew and production time to rest up, and the flip flopping of the production teams.
If in fact the Paraquay tweet is true, then the use of jalopies, means they are heading out of town and into areas where they were probably not observed by people willing to post about it or people unable to post about it.
I have spent a lot of time the last 12 years in South America and have a lot of close friends here, where I live, from the Brasilian German community. I have shown them the reporter's story and all have said they are 99.9% sure it means Germany, not "new Germany" in Paraguay. So I am thinking like woden, probably the production crew that the reporter talked to was heading to Germany, with one already in some other place.
Tar14 did 7 legs in Asia and 3 in Europe, so seems like BVM is into spending a lot of time in one place these days, so 5 legs in SA wouldnt surprise me that much either. TAR15 was 6 in Asia, 5 in Europe and 1 in US. So for TAR16, 5 in SA, 1 in Europe, 1/2 in Djibouti,Africa and 3/4 in Aisa and finale back in US fits well for me for TAR16. Hard to tell, unless we get more data.

Right. I'm saying there could be a Paraguay leg AND a Germany leg. They are not mutually exclusive.
The production team that worked the Argentina leg(s) would go ahead to Germany to set up there. This could be why someone in Bariloche caught wind of the race going there next.
However, since production teams rotate, there could have been staff waiting in Paraguay to film a leg there.
Something like this:
EP01: LA to Valpo, Chile (PRODUCTION TEAM A works leg)
EP02: Valpo, Chile to Puerto Varas, Chile (PRODUCTION TEAM A works leg)
EP03: Puerto Varas, Chile to Bariloche, Argentina (PRODUCTION TEAM B works leg, then flies to Germany to set up)
EP04: Bariloche, Argentina to UNKNOWN (PRODUCTION TEAM A works leg)
EP05: UNKNOWN to Asuncion, Paraguay (PRODUCTION TEAM A works leg)
EP06: Asuncion, Paraguay to Frankfurt, Germany (PRODUCTION TEAM B works leg)
See what I mean, Chateau?
BTW, the route above is still spec -- we don't have hard evidence for either Paraguay or Germany.

That looks really good! I think I misread your earlier post. I was in a hurry! :lol:
